LIFE BEGINS AT 40 # 5

 

You've reached the big four-0

You're getting old and so

It’s time for you to take it slow

It may not be what you wished

But make up for what you’ve missed

Grab a bottle and then get pissed

I WOULD NEVER HAVE KNOWN YOU WERE THIRTY

 

I would never have known you were thirty

You're not at all like a thirty-year-old

You are very youthful in many ways

But the giveaway, if I may be bold

Was not your youthful appearance at all

Your taste in music was your downfall

MILESTONE 60 # 5

 

Wow you look good for your age

And it was hard for me to gauge

But what proves you are an old man

Is that you’re a Jim Reeves fan

UNDER ANY CONCEIVABLE CIRCUMSTANCE

 

Under any conceivable circumstance

I wouldn’t hesitate to admit

I would much rather be over the hill

Than find myself under it

OLD GEEZER FOR SALE

50 year old,

Needs TLC, well used

One previous owner

No reasonable offer refused

I DOUBT IT BUT IF IT’S ACTUALLY TRUE

 

I doubt it but if it’s actually true,

And it’s not an exaggeration,

And things do get better with age

Then I must have reached perfection

AGEING IS LIKE FINE WINE

 

Ageing is like fine wine

It gets better with age

But in your case 

It was corked at some stage
