"when i was young and bold and strong,

“when i was young and bold and strong,
the right was right, the wrong was wrong.
with plume on high and flag unfurled,
i rode away to right the world.
but now i’m old - and good and bad,
are woven in a crazy plaid.
i sit and say the world is so,
and wise is s/he who lets it go.”
