Synopsis

The Simpson family attends "Seniors Poetry Reading" night at the Retirement Castle.

Plot

The Simpson family arrives at the Springfield Retirement Castle for a seniors' poetry reading. Bart complains about it, but Marge tells him that poetry is like rap music. Bart asks if it has a thumping backbeat, gritty, politically charged tales of life on the streets, or incessant profanity. Marge tells him that it will have none of that, though.

In the Retirement Castle, Jasper finishes reading a poem about Matlock. The Retirement Castle administrator asks if anyone has a poem that is not about Matlock. Grampa steps up to read his poem about going to the First Church of Springfield to play bingo, which annoys Reverend Lovejoy. Bart tells Grampa that he enjoyed the poem because it taught him something he didn't know about church life: gambling. Marge tells Bart to ignore what she said about listening to your elders, except for herself.
