Parents and grand parents also say that about themselves . I’m guilty of that if I’m good mood and a teenager says I’m old I usually agree but I also say to them I’m not so old that I can’t kick your butt and get some laughs. If I’m in a bad mood I’ll tell them just wait in several years, you’ll be where I’m at. I don’t take it that serious to them we are old

they are young it’s the truth. I always told my kids. That I would keep up with them. I would always listen to their music try and watch what they watched on TV once again times change they liked the loud music and to me the strange movies but then again when I was their age, I liked the loud music and what I call strange movies
Then along came cell phones, social media, etc. etc.. The teenagers know all about electronics some of us don’t some of us don’t even believe in cell phones so that could be called outdated. I or old fashion

I don’t know when this happened, but it happened. My children have now taken on the role of thinking they’re my parent I’m only 60 years old, I don’t need them to parent me. I believe my children have good intentions and they’re looking out for me. Do you think any teenager likes to look at their parents and see wrinkles on their face? From my experience, my children don’t like to see me growing older, but they know that’s a fact of life.
They changed their lives because now they look out for me with the best of intentions .As long as they’re not being disrespectful, I just ignore it. I have to disagree with you and a lot of parts of your poems. I see many many people here in California help the elders I’ve seen them carry groceries help them cross the street give them rides etc. etc.. come on be honest some of us are outdated, so what? some of us are old fashion. Teenagers should be able to speak their minds and opinions about people ageing my children we always welcome to give their opinions or debate with us,
It’s part of growing or even aging . They are encouraged to speak they need to speak their minds like we do .

my kids they have minds of their own .they’re not dumb. I don’t think they mean me to be ignorant or rude . We’re the ones who can be ignorant and right most times . Some can say we use our old age as an excuse.to talk about the younger generation Times are always changing. How about all the teenagers that are committing suicide times must be rough on them because the suicide rate among teenagers is climbing. If that’s all you have to say about teenagers that’s pretty darn good. Truth be told that is the circle of life we come into this world as infants and we grow and we teach our children to grow and then they teach their children how to grow so in the end we all get old even the teenagers.

Good ones SM.
Limerick is a city in Ireland from which this poetic form is taken. ( I'm not sure why).
Good to try out new things.

Beautifully written

I remember writing this oldie inspired by the song that is attached. Best wishes to all!

Remembering dearest Cafe and his beautiful Cafe Castle! In that spacious domain we, maidens, lived happily, with him guarding us sleeplessly day and night! Now he is doing the same from above! I feel it, we all feel it. He had a loving word for each of his maidens, and as long as we remember, he stays with us and the world is not freezing:

"The world would be freezing without our Marikia. It's
just that simple.
All the data is in..
Marikia IS..
The Queen of Cafe Castle!
Love
Cafe"

We miss you, Cafe!

thank you, i am glad that you like it, i apreciate the advice,

Nice poem.

A Good read, but dismal.

Life is what we make of it. Maybe you can try to have a positive outlook on life.
Start small, like with the blooming of roses and go in a positive direction.

dreaming doesn't take you anywhare, same as having hope...it is a lie that you give to yourself that things will be better when they actually will not change in any way ...
