Ethos with the Elderly

Don’t call an old man “Young Man.” 
He’d even prefer “Pops.”
If you call a young man “Young Man,”
He’ll bust you in the chops. 
An old woman isn’t “Sweetie”
And please don’t call her “Dear.”
If you call a young girl “Sweetie,”
She’ll smack you on the ear.
Don’t treat the old like children;
It makes them think you’re dense.
You’re lucky when you try it
That they’re bad at self-defense.
