bloody norah Coopey compared with 79 year old me you're only a bit of a kid
and I bet your continuing existence can't piss people off as much as mine can
remember to keep taking keep taking the fortifying phyllosan
ps-stay indoors as much as poss in case I'm out on my zebra crossing non stopping Yamaha
nothing I love better than giving pensioners a helping hand to the bone yard
The Viagra is in the post 😂 many of em JC

Thankyou for your thoughts, Graham and Stephen. This does seem to have a niche appeal to you over-30’s. And for the Likes, Redbrick and Tom.

A real pleasure to read this poem, John. Let's hope that cake goes on getting bigger.

3/4 of a century for me this year or as a friend told me ‘our last quarter’. Sadly we all only get one go!

Congratulations on making 74, John! That'll be me, too, later this year, with a bit of luck. And thanks for a fine, and indeed heartening poem that I for one can certainly identify with.

Thankyou Leon. Wise words. But I take issue with you over my inability to piss people off. It is one of the “Notable Achievements” I put on my CV.
