In Defense of Fifty

Well, here I am at Birthday’s door-- With happy wishes by the score. While younger women look and feel thinner, trimmer, with more zeal. I’m happy to be where I’m at with the weight of years under my hat. No pimpled dates lurk at my door. No smelly diapers on the floor. So fifty, for an age is fine; much better than for IQ or waistline. Yes, fifty years IS simply great. But, I of course, am thirty-eight.
