Lines on Facing Forty
I have a bone to pick with Fate.
Come here and tell me, girlie,
Do you think my mind is maturing late,
Or simply rotted early?

Well hello there
My, it's been a long, long time
And how am I doing?
Well, I guess that I'm doing fine
It's been been so long now, but it seems like it was only yesterday
Gee, ain't it funny, how time slips away.
Don't ask me why I had to sing that............ I'll just git now and close the door on my way out.........
I heart Ogden. He's a local boy. And one of my all time favorites.
I'm facing 40 also. I can't wait. I'm gonna flip 40 on its ass. Whatever that means.
