Lucky

"No one likes growing old;
but it’s usually preferable to the alternative!"









When I was little they called me kid
Thought everything was cute that I did.
Then came the time they called me the queen
It sure was great to be sweet sixteen.

When l was twenty they called me a lot -- ‘twas one of my joys
And of course you know I’m referring to boys.
Then I turned thirty; oh my what a shock
I did all the calIin’; my kids are all over the block.

Over the years, and there have been quite a few
l’ve been called many, many names, I’m telling you.
But the one I like best; it really is nifty
They call me lucky ‘cause today I am fifty.
