THE BIG FIVE ZERO # 1

 

You may be 50

But don’t worry, yet

You’re not over the hill

So don’t you fret

There is nothing to fear

It’s only a number you know

It’s not as if overnight

You’ve lost your get up and go

It’s just a number, Happy Birthday.

It is a big number though

LIFE BEGINS AT 40 # 1

 

You may be 40

But don’t worry, yet

You’re not over the hill

So don’t you fret

There is nothing to fear

It’s only a number you know

You won’t suddenly get all wrinkly

Or ache from head to toe

It’s just a number, Happy Birthday.

You do look old though

OF COURSE YOU'RE NOT OLD

Of course, you're not old

Stop making a fuss

You’ve just been young

Longer than most of us.

MILESTONE 60 # 1

 

You may be 60

But don’t worry, yet

You’re not over the hill

So don’t you fret

There is nothing to fear

It’s only a number you know

Think of it as ripening

Don't think of it as a blow,

You won't suddenly look haggard

That happened long ago

It’s just a number, Happy Birthday.

You are an age though

21st CENTURY NURSERY RHYMES # 225

 

There was an old woman

Called nothing-at-all,

Which made it quite difficult

To get her a passport

DO YOU REMEMBER THE TWENTY FIRST OF SEPTEMBER?

 

Do you remember the twenty first of September?

A very special date is it not?

It’s our wedding anniversary you idiot

And should never be forgot

ARE YOU WEARING A CODPIECE?

 

Are you wearing a codpiece?

No, no you don’t look like a wally

And when it stops raining, you’ll have

Somewhere to hang your brolly
