Advantageous

It is sometimes advantageous

To be getting on in years,

For it qualifies you to be

Vaccinated, it appears.

 

The flip side, though, is obvious –

The experts all have said

That the older folk with Covid

Will more often end up dead.

 

The conclusion, then – in some respects

It’s better to be young.

Though you can’t get the vaccine,

The fearful you won’t be among.
