Noughties
Age is just a number
That increases every year
The larger that the number gets
Brings the more onset of fear
As those teenage years pass you by
You then start thinking of the noughties
Then it really starts to sink in
With the arrival of the Thirties then the Forties
Then after each ten years you will realise
How fast the years are now passing by
The Fifties and then the Sixties are next
Don’t those years just seem to fly
As the Seventies and then the Eighties arrive
Your life will now seem like a blur
From School to Work and then Retirement
What else do you expect to occur
I hope that your memory is still Ok
So you can still remember them all
As lots of your friends will be no longer with us
It would be so sad if you could never recall
Lets hope you will now reach the Nineties
With good health still staying with you
When I was young it was Three score years and Ten
That was all you were expected to do
But modern day medicines have now changed all that
Many of us now reach a ripe old age
So if you are one of the lucky ones who have come this far
Let’s hope you make a brand new page.!!!
