Never get it.

Never get it.

A Poem by Jon Roggie

Wonder why it becomes easy to be cranky,
  as the years go by?

First, you get to ignore all grammar rules.
  Sounds like it works,
   forget the punctuation.

Second,
  those younger,
  complaining about getting old.
 
Third,
  those older.

Can't complain,
  taught to respect my elders.

Still, it is watching the same old mistakes being made.
Happened before,
  will happen after.


"They just don't understand!"

They do.

At least if they remember.

~ oh... i feel silly... i suck at grammar and punctuation... especially punctuation... i know you used the two words metaphorically and that was quite brilliant... as for "the same old mistakes being made", i'll just be a little pranksterish and say that human beings are unique in the way they make the same mistakes... :P

~ this post is a great read...
