The Other Side of Fifty!
My blog this week is a bit different. I am expressing myself in poetic form...enjoy!
The Other Side of Fifty!
I’ve done the cocktail circuit
‘Have smiled 'till my face aches
‘Now free to be the quirky ME
I’m finished with the ‘fakes.’
‘Sick to death of dinner parties
And having to make nice
I’d rather be in Vegas
‘Shaking hands with all the dice.
‘Ain’t getting any younger
The world is at my feet
It’s Paris, Prague, and Budapest
And dancin’ in the street!
I may have many ailments
But the one I like the best
Brings joy to me like nothing else
Its name is “Empty Nest!”
So if I swear and gorge bon bons
Or stay out late at night
I’m the other side of fifty
And my bark is now my bite!
