The Fifties

Seems that July is coming to and end. July has always been my favorite month, I guess from childhood cause it is my birthday month and as I got older it is the month that represents freedom to me......from school and then the anticipated vacation. Yep, people I turned 54 on the 21st. I am liking my 50's. The old body hasn't completely crapped out yet and I still have some resemblance of coherency a few moments at a time. A poem has come to mind.

At fifty four, I'm young no more,
but a child I may become;


For in my mind, thoughts float about,
and some are really dumb;


I like this age, it has it's perks,
She's old, just let her be;


Get away with most things I say,
but, DANG I cannot see;


Where are those specs,I search and search,
They're nowhere to be found;


I know they're here, I search some more,
THEY'RE HERE IN MY HAND....CONFOUND!


Disorienting and troublesome,
These things, they come my way;


Yep, the fifties, are proving to be quite great,
Now, the sixties????? I can't say


Till next time.
