Nearing age sixty two
Who would have ever knew
I'd still be playing fast-pitch baseball
With my fifty-seven year old brother Paul

The discounts are now quite a few
And cause for a feeling that's blue
It's true--what a drag
As the parts start to sag
A bonus for age sixty-two

In nineteen hundred and sixty-two
The Canadiana Folksingers made their debut
We appeared on TV
Albums numbered three
Had a ton of fun, what a hullabaloo!

my biggest pumpkin
prize matters a lot

Have had this beard since nineteen-sixty-two
Shaved it off once, freaked me out, others too
The underneath face
Sure left a bad taste
So now I'm known as Mr. Greybeard to youse

Promises, Promises
A promise with saying I do
Back in the year nineteen sixty two
A promise of love to my wife
She is my love for all my life
A promise to love her forever
Will I love again, I think never

Homey Domey Gomey Loamy Foamy Stoamy Roamy Doo
Delighted mice are dancing, around the kitty fiddler’s shoe
an hour ago I counted happy rodents numbering up to sixty-two
None of them realizing they are being led to a pot of tasty mousey stew

one hundred sixty two games
knowing all the players names
follow scores best we can
west coast games bring sandman
we'll watch the standings
keep track of innings
after all-star game it ignites a flame
winners will win and losers fall to shame

New Orleans’ 1962 ostentatious hotel lobby
extravagant crystal fluted chandeliers
highly polished walnut counter tops
opulent Italian marble floors
plush scarlet velvet cushioned couches
swankly brass and glass décor
luxury never seen after nineteen sixty-two

they knew to keep the romance alive
said “I love you” every day and many times
put their partner’s needs first
apologized if they accidentally hurt each other
this loving couple enjoyed sixty-two years together
their secret? The intentionally fell in love again every single year

In nineteen hundred and sixty-two
Canadiana Folksingers made their debut
We appeared on TV
Albums numbered three
Had a ton of fun, what a hullabaloo!
Played 5-string banjo and sang in a successful
folk group called The Canadiana Folksingers

I have my grandma’s hands
Polka dotted, wrinkled, silly looking
Skin barely covering the blue veins
There is a snake-like scaly look to them
Plethora of wrinkles and bumps
With a jolt I realize she died at sixty-two
I thought she was old
Brings me to a shocking perspective
As I am seventy-two

The horses are a galloping today
Their hooves clacking against the cobblestones.
They clomp right by in a most lovely way.
Woman in carriage giving tiny moans.
Cancer prevails in her smallish bones.
Eighteen sixty-two. Disease has no name.
Big C makes it impossible to hide.
This poor woman will never be the same.

They had rapidly turned from discussion group to angry mob
Screamers and yellers took the helm, storming the podium.
They expressed hatred for all humans over sixty-two.
Thought they should be shoved off on ice flows.
I started to work my way toward the back where the doors were.
But they caught me and dragged me back.

So much time since you left.
I still see you.
It does good for me.
LAST NIGHT YOU SCARED ME!
But before that you dared me
to find you now.
And now it is now, and I may
think the way you did,
when you were my heroes
and I was a kid.
This kid will soon be sixty-two.
How about that, brothers?
Look what I did!

Don was heartfelt, honest and sincere
When he fell in love with Miss Lynn McVere
She was flamboyant, redheaded, her ego overblown
Not her! Said his family, you are pure and home-grown!
She is as fake and strange as you are real
But Don could not change how his heart could feel
Falling in love was easy; he loved Lynn true.
They stayed married a record number of years, sixty-two.

There are millions of animal protectors she said.
I had no words; but knew it was not true.
She can be arrogant, bossy and rude.
I kept my mouth shut.
Maybe thousands of animal protectors, she said.
Backing up slightly.
I did not speak.
Hundreds of animal protectors? She guessed.
If we kept going along these routes, she might
luck into the right answer. There are only sixty-two
that I know of.

Idea sixty-two flew by me on her way to the meadow.
I put my right hand out and she slapped it as she giggled past.
Okay, that’s fine, I told myself. I will get the next one.
I am up to a hundred and sixteen ideas.
Do not ask me how I know, I think my muse keeps track.
This one put on her rollers and skated over my feet as she left.
I feel like I have a shot at capturing the next one.
My muse laughs.

For all of you
Unattached
Aging, older men,
Incomplete and
Anxiously
Patching up,
The damage done,
Mind the gap.
There are rules
Of thumb, such
As half and seven,
And fairy tales like
Love is heaven,
And hearts can float
Above the traps,
Mind the gap.
Sixty two less
Thirty six gives
Twenty six valid
Reasons, not
Expressed at first
But nonetheless
The math is real,
Mind the gap.

FOUR CUBED
Four words a line,
Four lines a stanza.
Four of these comprise
Ms. Hawley’s next extravaganza.
Three words won’t satisfy;
Five are too numerous.
And, one more condition,
She’d like it humorous.
That’s two verses done
And I’ve barely commenced.
It’s not my nature
To write lines condensed.
But, if she insists,
I’ll follow her law.
Sixty one, sixty two,
Sixty three, sixty four.

Snoopy was slamming through the skies
At top speed, stealthier than the other fliers
Flying ace of the year, he assured anyone who would listen
Tweety bird sat in the co-pilot seat, knowing he’d best be quiet
They looped and whorled and rat-a-tatted the enemy
Guns blazing, fierce and untouched.
Sixty-two bullet holes, and they were unscathed.
Snoopy stretched his hand out and knocked over his water bottle.

Mushroom Marmie, possibly the oldest auntie alive
Counted her nieces and nephews, there were twenty-five
They loved her to pieces for she had a sense of humor.
Felt horribly bad when she developed a cancerous tumor.
Mushroom Marmie was well-loved by the town too.
Had largest funeral ever when the trumpet blew.
By that time her nieces and nephews numbered sixty-two.
Thanks to nothing that she had ever done or would do.

For many years this day was one
Of my favorite times of having fun.
Until this date in Sixty-two
Ripped into my heart, cut it in two.
To leave it shredded for evermore.
He would never again come through the door.
Oh how we cried, the children and I,
Father was gone, too young to die.
Just as we were planning fun by the ton,
Urgent phone call and all was done.
Love was forever snatched away.
Years have gone by, it still hurts today.

The undersides of school chairs
all gooey with gum
We thought it such fun
back in sixty-one
In sixty-two we tore fruit loops
from the backs of girls' shirts
The innocent way
we first learned to flirt
In sixty-three we all wore
skin-tight 'H.I.S.' pants
That ripped near your bulges
when you started to dance
Memories glorious
like your first cigarette
Or a long drawn-out kiss
with that gorgeous brunette
