Here is one of Jacks earliest poems that was e-mailed to me March 12th, 2008. It is titled " Oldest Youngster Around "

 

The Oldest Youngster Around

Each morning we circle the mall
then after our morning walk.
we sit around the tables 
for coffee, tea and talk.

We are just a group of youngsters
from age fifty-five to ninety-four.
I will not mention any names,
as that idea seems very poor.

We discuss current events
or perhaps the olden days.
Sometimes we may discuss
if these are really the golden days.

One subject often comes up;
Who is the oldest youngster here today.
I really wonder if it is ah honor
but I have never won anyway.

Do you wonder if the women
really tell the truth?
I think so, after eighty 
they are proud of every day of their youth 

Consider the alternative most will say
getting older is not unkind/
What is old? old  is not cut and dried,
Think young; age is all in your mind.
