People expect old men to die, They do not really mourn old … - Ogden Nash

" "
People expect old men to die,
They do not really mourn old men.
Old men are different. People look
At them with eyes that wonder when…
People watch with unshocked eyes;
But the old men know when an old man dies.

But Custard cried for a nice safe cage.

It's my own dream, I dreamt it, I dreamt that my hair was kempt, then I dremat my true love unkempt it.

The only answer i can find
Is, Reproduction of his kind.
