Joyce Johnson Poet Rhyme

Forty

Forty old?  Hold your tongue.
Having children keeps me young.
Double forty?  I don't care.
I can travel any where.

Forty here and forty there.
Forty duo makes a pair.
Forty now?  Turn a page.
Getting older is the rage.

Reason A. Poteet January 26, 2016 at 5:58 PM Cute, Joyce, congrats on the placement. Considering the alternative to getting older, I'm in favor of it...married when I was 32 which makes me 72, not quite double 40.
