I like getting older, it's so much better than the alternative. I've liked each of my birthdays. Never had a melt-down about turning 30, 40, 50, or 60.
"Signs of Getting Old.”

My forgetter's getting better.
But my rememberer is broke,
To you that may sound funny,
But, to me, that is no joke.

My forgetter's getting better.
But my rememberer is broke,
To you that may sound funny,
But, to me, that is no joke.
For when I'm here, I'm wondering,
If instead I should be there,
And when I try to think it through,
I haven't got a prayer.
Oft times I walk into a room,
And say, 'what am I here for ?"
I wrack my brain, but all in vain,
A zero is my score.
At times I put something away,
Where it is safe, but gee,
The person it is safest from,
Is generally me.
When shopping I may see someone,
Say 'Hi' and have a chat,
Then, when the person walks away
I ask myself, "Who the hell was that ?"
Yes my forgetter's getting better,
While my rememberer is broke,
And it's driving me crazy,
And that isn't any joke.
Happy Birthday to Me.
Happy Birthday Jan. I hope you have a wonderful birthday. And I agree, they get better every year!

ReplyDeleteI'm sure your family helped you have an awesome birthday! I've never minded getting older either, well, I did have a problem turning 21 or all ages, lol. But suddenly I realized my teenage years were over.
