OLD WOMEN  …   15 SEP 2014

BY

JAMES BREDIN

Most of the women in my age group are very very old,

Many sitting in the lobby of a senior's building so I'm told,

Peaceful and quiet where absolutely nothing is strange,

Just waiting to die but for sure, this cannot be arranged.

Our politicians avoid any problem about death,

Maybe they think that they themselves will never run out of breath,

We do not have death with dignity and the subject may be banned,

But Quebec, half of Europe and eight US States think it's grand.

We can only influence our politicians at elections,

If we had binding referendums, we could make many corrections,

So our politicians are quite pleased at the way things are right now,

Can't mention death with dignity because that might cause a row.
