GETTIN' ON.

/*
When I wuz somewhat younger,
  I wuz reckoned purty gay--
I had my fling at everything
  In a rollickin', coltish way,
But times have strangely altered
  Since sixty years ago--
This age of steam an' things don't seem
  Like the age I used to know,
Your modern innovations
  Don't suit me, I confess,
As did the ways of the good ol' days--
  But I'm gettin' on, I guess.

Matching indentation

Match indentation, but always with an even number of spaces.

Poem as major division

This poem's heading has been treated like a chapter heading, with four lines before and two after. This is not always the case. In a book of poetry, if the project comments and discussion thread don't say whether to treat each poem as a chapter or a section, ask.
