G/day Matt,
The years have been turning a few too many pages for me mate.
Another well written and thought out poem Matt, I really enjoyed the read.

Goodonya Matt.
I must admit I do ask why or how.
For an experiment, I asked a young boy if he thought that it was possible that I had once been a little boy just like him...he said " No "
I like to remind young people that I was once what they are, they have never been what I am.
I know about being young, they don't know yet about being old.

Yeh I know Bob,

Last week I was down at the quacks for a check up and he said to me
Come back and see me in a fortnight if your still around

. You know Bill you being an old stockman and If I was a vet
( sometime I reckon he might be )

he made this strange statement you know if you were a horse I’d put you down but I ain’t a vet
