When we were boys we acted like one <br />People call us names behind our back <br />We were silly but we don't throw stone <br />And the girls, they love our six-pack <br /> <br />When we turn adults we acted like one <br />People who know us as boys don't argue <br />With us; they're afraid we'll throw stone <br />And our wives, they love us like sky-blue <br /> <br />When we became elders we acted like one <br />People come to us for advise, that's dearly <br />When they ask for bread we don't give stone <br />And our grannies, they love our pot-belly <br /> <br />When we die which we all know is inevitable <br />People will refer to us as the most-venerable<br /><br />Matthias Pantaleon<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/every-legend-has-a-beginning/
