I’m 50! Aint that NIFTY?
Jumped outta this bed this morning in a Jiffy!
...Took a shower, put on powder, don’t I look “Spiffy?!”
It’s my BIRTHDAY TODAY! YEA!!!!! My wife kissed me!
My dog wagged his tail, and then, he licked me!
I looked in my mirror, see,
Felt my head in the back and said, Gee,
Looks like some of my hair’s started to FLEE!
It’s getting harder to SEE, to some DEGREE, without my glasses on ME….
My abs are GONE.
But my stomach’s been set FREE!
Sometimes it appears to be ….Leading Me….
It’s just like my BACK!!
If I move a little too FAST
It goes outta WHACK!!
Which is almost as much fun as my
Occasional ATHSMA ATTACK!
My knees, don’t bend
They join the FUN
Hey, what’s this spot here, on my TONGUE?
I’m starting to lose some teeth
One, by one, by one…….
Gotta STOP chewing GUM!!
Er..anybody got SOME??
OH BOY!!! AINT TURNING 5o FUN????
I got to carry an umbrella, because now I cant stand the SUN
And I’m BLACK!
Go figure… THAT.
According to SOME, I should be off somewhere making a
“HOLE IN ONE”
Putting right thar on da “GREEN”
But THAT AINT the kinda Fun I NEED!
I LOVE
Singing and writing
And Kung Fu Fighting!
Making ART,
And “BUSTING FARTS!!”
NO NEED, NO NEED
TO DEPART!!!
Internet blogging and incessant clogging
My arteries with
Deliciously GREASY
Never ever QUEASY
ALWAYS goes down EASY
“Wifey FOOD!!!”
If you got some Fried Chicken,
IM IN THE MOOD!
Making love,
Praising and praying to God ABOVE
And inside
Going with the family for a ride..
My kids make my chest
Swell with PRIDE
So Glad my wife signed on for the RIDE
This is for LIFE
Honey, Im SO GRATEFUL
That you are my WIFE
I know you married me
To be POLITE!
But thanks for sharing the joy and STRIFE.
And yet there’s so much MORE to COME
Next YEAR this TIME….
I”LL BE FIFTY ONE!!!
Wrote this poem and performed it at my Birthday party.
As you MAY have guessed, THIS particular poem is DEFINITELY autobiographical! LOL! It sometimes HURTS to even think that I'm a half century old.. but well...here I am!
ReplyDeleteIt's been said... by younger people, no doubt, that you are "only as old as you FEEL" well, let me tell you, folks, you may SAY that you're only 20 years old, but your body KNOWS how old you are and has a way of REMINDING YOU, least you forget, EVERY MORNING!
I recited this poem to my wife and our party guests at a surprise BDAY party she threw for me. You may say..."If it was a SURPRISE then how'd you know to WRITE the poem to recite for it?" Let's just say that you dont reach the age of 50 by being no fool.....heh heh...
