Turning Thirty Today
I keep telling her
about growing old since I’ve experience it many years now. I want her to have
good expectations and not be fooled by others who may not be as realistic.
I thought I would
get the jump on them so I had been telling her to expect these things for
sometime now. She has been going to gym and
dieting to help stop the aging clock but today, the clock turns to the big 3. I
wish her a very Happy Birthday! She has been my closest friend for almost 10
years and certainly the most constant person in my life over these years. It’s
so easy to call her Reds, especially when her name is so hard to remember.

Turning Thirty Today Today you’ll be turning the big 3 Unable to rely on your memory Redoing the things you had already done Now you’re too old to have any fun It’s the signal that you’ll be losing your teeth Now it’s time for eye checks and to turn a new leaf Growing old changes the colour of your skin Turns that beautiful smile into an ugly grin Have you looked in the mirror this morning It would have given you an early warning Rushing at this age may crack a bone They shouldn’t leave you in the house too long alone You’ll need a stick soon to maneuver your room Take a grip meanwhile with the old house broom On those days when you can’t get from the chair Don’t cry, call for help to raise your large derrière And if you are fitter and not feeling this way You should have a very Happy 30th Birthday |
