A Senior am I



A senior am I

So pour me a drink.

A senior am I

Right on the brink

Of life and career

And a future so bright.

But I am a senior

With no job in sight.

So gather your contacts

And send them my way.

A senior am I

Dreading this May.



A senior am I

The world at my feet

A senior am I

Ready to meet

What future awaits

And what it will give.

But I am senior

With nowhere to live.

So open your home,

I promise I'm neat.

A senior am I

Who'll live on the street.



A senior am I

A ruler of men.

A senior am I

But let us pretend

That a senior I'm not

But rather a child

For I am a senior

Lost in the wild.

Don't make me grow up

Like all of you did.

A senior am I

Trapped in a kid.



A senior am I

So kind and so smart

A senior am I

Painted like art

with brilliance and wit;

my mind like a king.

But I am a senior

That knows not a thing.

Forgive me, my friends,

I've come to believe

That a senior am I

Not ready to leave
