31st Time I'M 39

I'm a social guy who used to be shy I talk so much, I put my tongue on a diet hard to believe that I used to be quiet I got so darned fat only my feet are flat Glad that 39's not very old at least, that's what I'm told

"hard to believe that I used to be quiet" It truly is!

OK. I think I'll shoot for 109. That's just a number as well. Smiles, Gershon

Yeah, that's what people say, Lindsay. All I can tell you is that I feel every year of my age... Oh, well...

Addition or multiplication…lol. My brother just before turning 60 said “it’s just a number.” I said: You’d think so wouldn’t ya. (Of course now I’m not joking with him for he lost his 28 year old son :( )

People don't realize anymore that 60 is the beginning of old age. It doesn't always show, but it is... ~ gw
