Happy 40th

Alas, alas, you are 40 now
your 30s are truly behind,
you fight to retain your figure
and brain cells flee from your mind.

You could take lots of vitamins
to try and keep your youth,
or start wearing false things
and cap each dying tooth.

But, worry not about the above
- treat it all as trivia,
no matter how you decompose
old friends will always forgivya.

They will always see you as you were
so your youth you'll never lose,
maybe it's time to abandon sex
and cut down on the booze?

Why Worry

We worry far too often
About climate change and such
About family, work, war and cash
We worry far too much.

Is it why we are put here
And is there a special plan
For us to tend the garden
For some coming omnipotent man?

There has to be a purpose
In our daily thrash around
Why we till and turn the same patch
of already seeded ground.

If only we could foster
The sense to turn and play
And fight the over-riding drive
to meet our troubles halfway.
