Suspenders lifting soiled pants
Lee ignores the old lady rants
Probing the counter for goodies and more
Lee will retire to a corner and snore
Life at the senior center is routine, at bay
Wastes over four hours each day
It doesn’t matter all that much
For it’s a small price to see this bunch
To be social, or just listen to chatter
Bored goes the time–but it doesn’t matter
Putting away dishes and snacks because he’s able
A bi-weekly simple staple
Chicken with cream gravy
Just like in the Navy
Pudding or dry vanilla cake
Sure is better than what Lee can make
Life moves on a positive note
Given transportation, these folks still vote
They know much more than they are credited for
Crooked smiles, mindful eyes, we have learned to adore
