40
Today I'm 40
Yesterday I was 39
I guess I should celebrate somehow
With some food and a bottle of wine
The thoughts of being younger
Keep running through my head
When I could act like a complete clown
And not panic about things I've said
The world was exciting and happy
So I embraced it with all my might
With the good times and the bad times
I still learnt with the world in sight
Turning 40 hasn't really changed me
The mind still thinks it 24
My body gets an occasional twinge
But I'm definatly not a bore
So here's to being 40
If you want to celebrate it's up to you
I'll just keep my thoughts of happiness
And sit around till I'm 41 and 42
