Happy Birthday to ya
70 was so last year.
I was told its all downhill from here. Im still looking for the hill.
Im not all seventy.
My eyes are 80
My teeth are 60
My belly is 95 and way too old for exercise
My one hip says its too old and is asking for a replacement
My nose is 105 and should be smelling smells that are now only a memory
And my brain is a twenty year old trapped in an older mans body.
All in all, its as it should be.
Happy Birthday!

My mother died in the late 60's from a cancer that would easily be curable today.

Yes, it seems everything being done by this administration is rooted in hatred. I don't think it's sustainable.
