New Generations.

Goldfinch60

I know it is nature’s way,

Each generation changes,

Each generation gets taller.

To me this was not a problem,

Being quite tall.

But now when I walk in the town,

The two generations below me,

Are now above me.

    Not as tall as you Andy - I was 6ft but I've lost a bit in older age and I'm still above all my grandchildren - but there's time yet. I do like this little bit of penmanship Andy - it grows on me LoL - a good write.

      Thanks Robert. My son is 3 inches taller than I but I am taller than the grandchildren at the moment but they are catching me up very quickly.

        Well I can attest to that... They're tall, but are they wise as you are? Great write buddy!

            Tall Men have lots of advantages ! I'm just over 6ft but a lot of Younger males in our Church are 6'3" and taller ! In education we paradoxically SHORTLIST the Applicants and the appoint the Tallest because they have more authority in the classroom ! BRIAN

              Great writing and interesting subject, Goldfinch. Both my sons are taller than I am, and I used to tell them: You might be longer, but I am bigger!

              • Goldfinch60

                Yes I am bigger than my taller son. Thank Fred.

                You guys are tall as I can see. I'm only 5.3 but one of my sons is 6.4 as the other is 6 how did I do that I don't know. The tall one was made in Australia and the other one in Brazil. It must be the water. Very cute writing. I like the shared information.

                  Thanks m. It is not just the boys, I went down town the other day and it seemed to be invaded by six foot plus ladies!

                    Steps are easier to use, you do not need to lean them against anything.

                    A sign of ageing, yes my friend. Do you remember when you first noticed how young the policemen were these days? Nice work again. pleasure to read.

                    • Goldfinch60

                      Oh yes I remember, and still see those children wearing police uniforms. Thank b-e.
