This poem was inspired by the Toby Keith song,
“Don’t Let The Old Man In”, from the movie
“The Mule”.
When you hear those cold winds blowing
That bring him knocking on your door
Hang the Do Not Disturb sign
And turn off the lights
And don’t let the old man in
You’ve lived a good life
And though your body is worn
You wouldn’t even know how old you are
If you didn’t know when you were born
You still have a lot of living to do
Songs to sing and poems to write
So when you hear those cold winds blow
And he’s knocking at your door
Open the door and say
“Not yet old man”
