Hey you old geezer.
Welcome to the club.

Be honest Is 60 traumatic?
Or is it just another day.

Do people call you sir these days?
Well whatever.

I stopped celebrating birthdays
A long time ago.

I found celebrating life
a much better cause..

So don’t be listening to the wrong teachers.
Allowing the young to define who’s old.

Keep boogying when the music's right;
never forget that our music was and is
better than them whippersnappers.

Get well and for gods sake
Don’t be getting cranky on us.

Finally and
Like fine wine It gets better with time.
