An Old Man Turned Up

Old man! Old man!
How were you born?
Who would give birth
To long grey hair?

How did you get
Such short, bent bones,
If you weren’t dropped
When you were born?

Old Man! Old Man!
Are you a man?
Where is your home?
How do you know?

One day we look
Up and you’re there.
One hour we look
Down and you’re gone.
