{To the tune of "Sixteen Going on Seventeen" from The Sound of Music}
Your life, old girl,
has been quite a ride
With mem’ries to
delight on.
But what’s ahead? Are
you full of dread
Thinking this might be
your swan song?
Au contraire! old
girl, and adieu to blues!
It’s just a new
beginning.
Ignore the time and
this silly rhyme
There’s plenty for you
to groove on…
to groove on…
You are 60 going on 70
Oh what a life you’ve had!
Good times & bad, lovers, husbands & cads
Your history screams, “egads!”
Gone are the old taboos of life
Past errors all grow dim
Finally free to be yourself
To follow any whim
No longer timid, shy or scared
At home within your skin
Granted, it sags a bit these days
Much to your chagrin
Grateful to have such loving friends
For all the things you share
The joys as well as aches and pains
Thank goodness for MediCare
You can replace your worn-out parts
Nip/tuck your eyes and chin
Go to the gym, work out and swim
Oh, to hell with discipline!
You are someone older and wiser
You know what to do
Darling 60 going on 70
Have a drink…
Just have a drink…
Or two

Peace & Love
