Poetry: Turning forty

by Linda Ann Nickerson

Created on: April 25, 2008

SPORTY AT FORTY
(Coming of Age with Limericks)

I so adore my best friend Marge.
Whose big four-oh was looming large.
She called our gang,
And with a bang,
She met the day by taking charge.

My friend runs circles round her peers;
Her forty annums bring her cheers.
At bar and grill,
She's carded still
For aging slower than her years.

To face the years courageously,
Perhaps a bit outrageously,
With forty winks
And great hijinks
She's aged most advantageously.
