Oh, thank you all for birthday cheer, Your sweet, kind words are loud and clear. Though one declared I'm over the hill, I took it well, like an old pill. With cake and candles, you did jest, About fire hazards and my restful rest. "You’re only as old as you act," you say, So I'll play in the sandbox another day. Gifts of socks and sweaters, oh, what a treat, For each year advancing, a sartorial feat! But truly, your wishes were the best part, As age adds laughter to this aging heart.
