"Now there's the black cross, the green cross, the white cross, the double cross, the criss-cross, and the lost cross. And the cross gets awful heavy at different times, but one is supposed to keep on going on and carrying the cross on his shoulder, because you ain't supposed to let no cross cross you up. You're supposed to let a cross help you get across. And if you let a cross help you get across, you won't get crossed up but you'll be on the cross 'cause you done got across on the cross. So if you can remember this, you won't get lost on the cross while you're trying to get across. So we're just here to let you know about it. I know that you knew already, 'cause y'all the hippest people in the world, hip black and white. But you still know that you got a cross you must deal with. So when it crosses you up, go on and deal with it, and leave it alone."
-  Rahsaan Roland Kirk (Old Rugged Cross)
 

"...I'm a certified senior citizen
Excuse me while I take my nap
You don't like my driving
I don't like your jiving
Just don?t give me that old time crap

It's true
It could happen to you
Take a bus
Every single day, there's more of us...."
-  Mose Allison (Certified Senior Citizen)
