about

An ode to the elderly people Richie has come across.

lyrics

Some of you fled wars
Some of you avoided chores
Some of you are interesting
Some of you are bores
Some of you married
Some of you never did
Some of you studied Austen
Some of you studied Euclid

Some of you were poor
Some of you were rich
Some of you were middle class
Some of you knew not which
Some of you had a business
Some of you had a trade
Some of you remained handsome
Some of you began to fade

Some of you traveled
Some of you stayed at home
Some of you grew vegetables
Some of you pined for Rome
Some of you had hobbies
Some of you only worked
Some of you hurried
Some of you smirked

Some of you spoke English
Some of you spoke Chinese
Some of you spoke German
Some of you only learnt, 'Please'
Some of you remember
Some of you forget
Some of you are Stoic
Some of you show that you're upset

And some of you knew God
And some of you did not
