The Q-Tips

They stick up in a sea of dark--
White fuzzy hairdos that wave and fluff--
And constrast against younger stuff.

Bent down with age and experience
And often hackneyed words and thoughts,
These Q-Tips relax from lives well fought.

Before being thrown into a rubbage bin,
They wave and shake to show their rage,
And flare their spirit without a cage.

With many stories this cotton can give
Amusement and wisdom never before seen:
Something the current generation should glean.
