Another year older to add to the rest
With cards and best wishes and cake to digest,
The adage “it’s only a number” I guess
Is another good reason to cry and contest?
Is it me getting older or is it them in decline
I tolerate less and drink much more red wine
And yet in my head I am still at an age
My thoughts want to do things
My body won’t engage
I look in the mirror and see all of the signs
A little grey on the sides, and my face showing Lines
And then I think back to the bad times of my life
Thank god I thought twice about taking a wife
It’s not so bad now I still have my health
And because I am single I still have my wealth..
