Ordinary

Standard

No special area of contribution

Old

Retired

No one wants to hear.

Stand

In the wings

And watch the current actors

Knowledge

Vested in old ones

Is poo pooed

History can offer nothing

To the bright young things

Who do it their way?

My specialty

As an old one

Is to stay mutely out of sight

As a market

A bookmark

Inserted in the leaves of history.
