No More Old Men

What would we do?

What if one day,
all the old men went away?

The corner diner,
has less coffee drinkers.

No one buys,
The white Nike Air.

Who would change,
the furnace filters?

And make sure
the light switch is off.

Who would change the oil,
at exactly three thousand miles?

Who would rake the leaves,
and let them smolder all day?

And mow the grass at noon,
on a zero turn?

Who would drive the speed limit,
on a beautiful sunny day?

Who would listen to baseball,
on the radio in the car?

Shhhh…the game is on.

Who would let us know,
what the weather is soon to be.

And keep us aware,
of what the doctor had to say.

Who would make sure,
we are doing things right?

And give us tips,
on the project we’re working on?

If you don’t know;
I certainly do.

All the old men.
That’s who.
