FORTIES seems to be the new FANGLED an d'etre (age to be) these days... I mean everyone is getting into it... FIRST my sister had a big 'turning FORTY bash in Vegas', now two of my brother in laws are having birthdays today. And guess what? They're FORTY and FORTY-SIX!! And if that's not bad enough... my own husband thinks that next week we're going to let him tell people that he's FORTY-ONE! Whatever! Like I'm married to an old man! psahw... I mean I'm only 26!... yes.. I'll end there and share a lovely little poem that I FOUND to cheer them up!
He's older than the oldest man
that anyone has ever known.
He's older than the internet,
he's older than the telephone.
He's older than the printed word,
the ancient Greeks, the dodo bird.
He's older than the pyramids,
and prehistoric hominids.
He's older than the dinosaurs,
the earth, the sun, the moon and stars.
He's old as mud, he's old as dust,
he's wrinkled up and turned to rust.
He's musty, crusty, stinky, dirty.
Simply put, he's turning forty!
~Ancient by Kenn Nesbitt
