Elderly

Across the road

I see an elderly

Couple who can't

Drive, can barely

Walk, so morning,

Afternoon, evening,

Night, they keep

Themselves busy

By watching TV.


I feel really sorry for them.


And wonder, if one day,

I may be also like them,

Not being able to do much

Except recline and see TV.
