Oh-ld, aka, Agism

The etymology of the word old is this:
As people age they begin to groan when they stand
And when they sit,
Or, as for me, when I've fallen
And I can't get up.

But way back then, some of the juveniles began
To take notice of the sound
That the elders made.
"They're 'oh-ing' again," they'd say,
Or "growing oh," for those
Who spoke dylexically.

But "oh" wasn't much of a word
And wasn't often heard outside
And seemed to confuse
Glad tidings of some other "oh's"
That were in fashion,
Until this particular "oh" was labeled LD.
And that my children is how the word
"Old" came to be in the English language.
