Students Older Than Average
Students Older Than Average
By Elton Camp
Once it was only when young to college you go
But times have changed and it’s no longer so
Many older folks still have a whole lot on the ball
And at the university door more and more now call
At my college, I’ve had many students older than me
And outstanding performance is what I usually see
I’d rather have a serious grandmother in my class
Than many a beautiful but too flighty young lass
Old people realize that for them as well it’s the key
Need for education & credentials they’ve come to see
The human brain is stimulated and improved by use
So to look down on the older ones there’s no excuse
So if grandfather decides to come get his degree
There may be few who perform any better than he
If in your class you see that there’s an older one there
Get acquainted with her, for she may have much to share
