In the neighborhood where I live
And it took the experience to earn my free will
I learned to cope, joke, and play the dope
In the end, they equipped me with hope

Moving to a community with older adults
My first impression was they wanted to consult
Then I decided to take the old standoff approach
This is when I learned: These people don't want to coach

From a condensed viewpoint, I came to a thought
Everyone here in one form or another has been taught
To appropriately sway these aged and nearly suspended
I changed my environment. It was the gym, a place I'd ascended
