On Turning 65

It used to be when you got old,
  you were left out in the wild
    to be eaten by the wolves.

As we became more civilized,
  you were given a gold watch
    and left to be harassed by family.

Now they expect you to work a few more years
  and there is no gold watch.

The wolves are looking better and better.
