Time To Fess Up
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer, ©2012
Today is your birthday,
And there is something I must say,
It's time to confess your age,
As we all can see, you've gone grey.
You can no longer continue to say,
You're in your twenties, they have definitely peaked.
It's time to fess up to the truth,
You're Forty, let's hear the shriek!!
Forty isn't so bad,
Well, that's what I have heard.
I'd like to say I understand,
But unlike you, I'm still a young bird.
One day it will be my turn,
And I'm sure you’ll be right there!
But I'll always have one thing on you,
I'm younger and that I swear! -
Over The Hill
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer, ©2019
Over the hill
With lots of bills
Forty comes quickly
It can make you feel sickly.
The years ticked by
Time how it flys
But the day has arrived
And you'll survive.
Happy Birthday to you
Don't get the forty blues
Be happy, be merry
The next forty are the cherry! -
You're Not Done
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Forty is the new twenty - right?
That is what forty year olds write.
Middle age has no cause for fright,
Unless you count the wrinkles in sight!
Your youth may be an old stereotype,
But fear not - 40 is just a bunch of hype!
Let go and have some really good fun,
Being forty, you're not yet done! -
Mold
by Byron Pulsifer
When things are 40 years old
You can start to see the mold
But this does not apply to you
As you look like your brand new.
Happy 40th Birthday -
Fabulous At 40
Poet: Sam Fickinsen, ©2020
Look at you, fabulous at 40
Life is still pretty ordinary
But tomorrow over the hill
Some say you will
But hey forty's not so bad
In fact, you should be glad
You can celebrate yesterdays
Even if your memory changes the ways
You can anticipate tomorrow
Even if from your dreams you borrow
Don't let your age get to you
Otherwise, you'll just be blue
The Big Four O
You may be a bit slow
But don't despair
We can get you a chair
Keep on going
And keep on growin'
Look forward to the next 10 years
When you will turn 50, my dear! -
Age Forty
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Age forty is here, it is in sight
Quest for wisdom may come to flight.
A new path unfolds before you
No longer young but don't be blue!
Life's joys are yet to unfurl
Time ahead of you to twirl -
Don't worry about the years that past
Enjoy middle age and all that lasts! -
Not So Bad
Poet: Catherine Pulsifer
Turning 40 is not so bad
You can look back and see all you had
And then look forward and be glad
For all the years coming and those you had.
You are in the prime of your life
You have the wisdom to handle strife
The experience you have gained
Allows you to now show restraint.
So when the joking is all done
Remember 41 has just begun.
Live your years and be happy for
The years to come, and what is in store. -
Turning 40
Poet: Theodore Higgingsworth
Turning 40 is not so bad,
Be happy don't be sad.
Just think in another 40 years
You will be 80, oh my dear!
So celebrate and forget the number
Think of it as a small blunder.
Yes, half of your life is gone
But of you, we are still very fond.
Turning 40 is just another day
Even if you are turning gray.
Laugh, be happy, really who cares
Happy 40th we do declare!
