the elderly man sits in his lounge chair
his television showing a large
crowd of young people causing
a rumpus in the streets
it takes him back to his young days
when he bravely marched down streets
causing his own disturbance of the peace
- Written for dVerse Quadrille #230 - Let's kick up a rumpus
Rumpus rousers for tomorrow. Good poem.
