After Food

After two days we think and own occupations,
Replying to men and women to consider the facts;
I think then that we inform them when they are adults,
Long walks and foolish food comes and arrives,
Never does it depart, tied to the bridge of eternity.
Attend to them! They are adults and masters of a class,
They are artful and lazy to be exact,
Their youth has been along, and away,
Bringing the sons and daughters,
Elderly men and women are again.
