This Poem is for John Tevlin's Tweet.

 "Proud of myself. Managed to avoid a fistfight in the Home Depot parking lot by referring to myself as a senior citizen."


John Tevlin is a mighty man
who takes no guff at all.
Whether at Home Depot
or a poshy shopping mall.
He'd stand up to a woman;
he'd stand up to a child;
he'd stand up to a shopping cart
and not be very mild.
Toe to toe with he men,
he'd snap his fingers -- thus!
Then ask to be directed
to the nearest Senior bus.
With cane and large bifocals
he rules above the yokels.
Let us praise him
with our vocals!
Oh, that wily Johnny T.
Wish I was as old as he.
But I'm still quite young enough
to run away like scared cream puff.
