Decade 2010 Poem by jerry hughes

Decade 2010



In a matter of hours I step into
my octogenarina decade.
Scary?
You bet your sweet arse,
1931 to 2010 is a long time.
Much longer than I expected,
or deserve.
However, the French have an apt
saying in the circumstances.
'C'est la vie'

And you know something, sweetheart, you don't look a day over sixty! It was certainly touch and go there for a while mid 2007, but something tells me that your octogenarian decade will flow smoothly. Good to read a new poem from your crusty old pen - tightly crafted and delivered with your usual sharpness and flair. Happy Birthday for tomorrow (January 4) . Love, Allie ♥ ♥ ♥ ♥
