AGEISM
I was sitting on a bouncing bus.Running down all the sleeping policeman,
Feeling as though legs were full of rust.
Feeling younger than my face portrayed,
Two pregnant ladies got on a full up bus.
I asked would either of you two ladies,
like to take my seat? They replied. No thanks,
At your age you need it more than us.
I don't wish to bleat l felt angry inside,
They say chivalry is still alive,
With those two I think it up and died.
