- adrianmonk 7y agoThe vast majority of his work was humorous poetry, but on rare occasions he got serious. Since I like this one and it's sort of appropriate to the subject, I'll share it: Old Men by Ogden Nash People expect old men to die, They do not really mourn old men. Old men are different. People look At them with eyes that wonder when... People watch with unshocked eyes; But the old men know when an old man dies.
