Septuagenarians & octogenarians aplenty No one's glass is empty. There is enough food and wine For all in style to dine The party is in full swing Everyone is having a real fling No semblance of fatigue or fear An ambience of camaraderie and good cheer No sons and daughters to fret and fume No grandchildren to complain about There is no mention of pain only pleasure To be shared with each other in full measure Is a time to celebrate and not to debate About the future which they await It is New Year's Eve at the Golden Fern The Senior Citizens' preferred Tavern.
