Many People Will Tell You

Many people will tell you in time we do mellow and wisdom does come with the passing of years
But there is a shortage of wise old fellows and of the female sex not many wise old dears
Everyone grows older but few do grow wiser no fool like an old fool happens to be true
Some young people are wiser than their elders this is for to give young people their due
Saturday evening in the local pub shouting at the t v watching a game of football
He should know better for one in his eighties from time lived John has not learned much at all
His favourite football team losing the big game he was shouting abuse at the t v
Swearing loudly in utter frustration and blaming the match referee
At what he thought were quite bad decisions that favoured the opposing side
Just one aged man who lacks in wisdom plenty like him Worldwide
Getting excited over elite sportspeople who only by name they do know
Plenty of John's age in the World for time lived without wisdom to show
That everyone grows older but few do grow wiser as a truism does remain
Why some people as they grow old grow sillier seems far too hard to explain.
