Daily Dose

From The Poetry of Ogden Nash

A MAN CAN COMPLAIN, CAN"T HE?

Between the dotard and the brat
My disaffection veers and varies.
Sometimes I'm sick of clamoring youth,
Sometimes of my contemppraries.
I'm old too soon, yet young too long;
Could Swift himself have planned it droller?
Timor vitae conturbat me;
Another day, another dolor.
