The Wrong Side of Forty

Just a bit of fun for getting "younger?"

 

THE WRONG SIDE OF FORTY

 

They say I’m the wrong side of forty

I’ve discovered my mind is quite naughty

Instead of whinging and whining

I’m out dancing and dining

For new life began at age forty

 

Oh, my body just loves being forty

And my mind enjoys being naughty

I’ve been danced, I’ve been dined

I’ve been chauffeured, and wined

Who says I’m the wrong side of forty.

 

When I’m ninety, I’m sure I’ll be naughty

‘cause I’ll always be just --- " turning forty!"

Blonde hair or grey,----- whatever my age,

Night time or day ----I’ll be ready to rage

For I’m NEVER the wrong side of forty.

Having been on both sides myself, I'll take this side any day. Nice, light, fun poem...enjoyed it a lot, Jen.

Hey...I like the attitude here.

Naughty in your nineties.

That's the spirit!

a writting full of bright lights. a shining sun and a spirit equally warm.
"When I'm ninety, I'm sure I'll be naughty

definitely good lines. i personally think matuarity flavours a spirit and i dare say body too. all is in the mind.
and by this poetry-writting you prove that not only
"I've been danced, I've been dined

I've been chauffeured, and wined'_ there is more to your life to work as permanant age defying substance.

Wonderfully written .. and you are sooo right .. carry on being naughty ... a woman matures beautifully after forty and is far more attractive and interesting then .......

I like the sentiment about there not being a right or wrong side of an age... I believe any day that one is vertical is a good day. Great subject and a great write.
