Dylan's 80th Birthday

In case you weren’t feeling old

(A topic kind of weighty)

You might, as soon as you’ve been told

Today, Bob Dylan’s 80!

 

Our youthful idols cannot age

Unless we do in tandem

And lately, if they take the stage,

They face a senior fandom.

 

I’m glad that Bob’s still kicking,

Earning accolades and cred

Unlike those whose songs are sticking

Though they’re 50-plus years dead.
