Today’s word is “ yealing” ... yee-lin ... person of the same age as oneself. (Dictionary.com)
Boom
Elevator music’s found us,
My yealings and myself,
Everywhere strains of peace and love,
The same as we keep upon our shelves.
It means that we have finally,
Reached that ancient age,
Where we grow slowly out of touch,
Though we may feel the sage.
We knew that it would happen,
To us, as to us all,
Still it is quite shocking,
To hear our music in the mall.
It’s hard to hear the last notes,
End instrumentally,
But memories of youth remain,
Most sentimentally.
