There are problems in the land and you are a pensioner,
austerity is like a sweat horse blanket that doesn’t dry.
Medicine old people need are getting more expensive,
and come to think of it, isn’t old folks' pension too high?
Many young people think so as their old age is far away.
Look at them, the smug old ba*tards, have no mortgage
to pay, they are no good consumers, don’t buy furniture,
and have savings in the bank. The new society doesn’t
need people who believe in old values, what silly notion!
So tax their savings and their medicines so they can begin
to feel our pain. They had the best of times when work
was plentiful, they lived at a time of copiousness, so let
them try how it feels like to be young today.
An old lady, on Zimmer frame, was robbed yesterday.
yes indeed you are right and thank you for your comment

What you say is well said in a poem, but in reality the majority perception of pensioners, as proved by the rarity of attacks you cite as an instance in the last line, is that they should be respected, if only as the living proof of one's own expectation of a secure pension.
