Whoohoo! Good people are born in March!
My birthday was Saturday, March 21. I've got you by a year. Of course, turning '65' was a nice milestone, so says hubby, so I got 'diamond earrings.' YESSSSSS! (*<*)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEAR GEOFF, HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU FROM ACROSS THE WORLD!! (*<*)
Cheers & Blessings

Fanstory is the right place to be at 64. most folk here are over that age and still actively using their brains.
good use of mono rhymes.
hope you have a happy birthday

Well happy birthday my friend. This is a cute little poem about being 64. Yes for sure the aches and pains will increase as the years go by. God is good, and I am almost seventy one, and still do a lot of work, so I am truly thankful.

Glad you are still active, bro. I do know a lot of folks who are same way past where I am, today. As you know from my book I have been on disability for more than 17 years, now. I wish I could do more, for sure.
Comment from seaglass
Ahh yes, I saw that birthday a few years ago. My "get-up-and- go", don't get up like it used to, that's for sure. Happy birthday and many more.

On an express train that won't stop or slow down,
sixty-four down the hill and 'round the next curve
I find myself thinking (frequently) about this song
I just hope well meaning birthday greetings
come with that famed bottle of wine!!!
(5 stars) = EXCELLENT. I would recommend this to a friend! I enjoyed the read and found both the content and the construction admirably accomplished. :-)

Comment from ExperiencingLiphe
I had surgery in 2008 on my wrist and the surgeon didn't know what he was doing so I already arthritis in my wrist and I've had bifocals since high school. LOL. I laugh at people who get bifocals in their forties and complain to me. Their eyes get really big when I tell them I've had bifocals since high school. I don't know if you have ever tried a parafin machine. It melts wax and you can dip your hand/wrist or your foot in it. They give you gloves to put over the wax for awhile (it keeps it warmer longer) and it's so amazing. I use that for my wrist and haven't gone back to the doctor for a cortizon shot in almost a year and a half. Good luck friend and happy birthday

Interesting analgesic. I am on anti-inflammatory pills amongst all my other meds and it works most of the time. Appreciate your sympathy, thanks.
Comment from meggie13
You are not that old. According to new statistics you are a few years younger. Arthritis slows you down but still you can do a lot of things. There a few medicines in the market than can let you live almost pain free to enjoy your life. Well written and many would relate to your pain. Good rhyme and a good theme for your poem.

A great picture that is a story in itself.
A fun verse, and a Happy Birthday.
Even the Beatles had no idea of what they sang:0
Despite the aches, it's still a good year!
