THE ODE TO YOUR %)TH BIRTHDAY Half a century - bloody hell Even so you’re looking well Neat and trim and oozing fitness Your condition does bear witness To the fact that even though You’re getting on, it doesn’t show Wrinkled skin and thin grey hair ? None at all - it isn’t fair How do you retain your prime While others bear the strains of time ? Do you exercise each day ? Or have you found another way Of fending off advancing years And growing old without the tears It really is beyond belief So pass it on - spare other grief How Mother Nature’s favoured you… To keep old age concelaed from view !!

AN ODE TO HITTING %) Well some people worry And some people fret There are those who get drunk As they try to forget But it’s better to face it Accept that it’s true Because 50 does happen It’s happened to you! Yes, it’s best to tell everyone Say you don’t care And so what if you’re not Quite as young as you were Everybody grows older No need to feel glum If the young ones annoy you Say "Your time will come" Tell the world you are proud To have got to this stage Even if it’s considered Advanced middle age You can live with the jokes You can carry that cross Say "I’m 50, and guess what ?? …I don’t give a toss !!
