Well...I mentioned maybe posting a poem or parody that I've written so here is my first choice. I originally wrote this parody for one of my Spiegelette friends who was facing a "scary birthday". I have adapted it to celebrate the "double nickle birthdays" shared this year by me and my dear high school friends...The Fab Five!
You must "sing" it to the tune of Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious to the get the full affect.
Enjoy!!!!!
Super fifty-five’s fantastic and it’s not atrocious!
Even though the sound of it can make you feel ferocious.
Plant your feet, and stand up tall, and be a bit precocious.
Super fifty-five’s fantastic and it’s not atrocious!
Um-diddle-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye
Um-diddle-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye
Tip-toeing through the latter years is frankly quite absurd,
When each day is a gift, you see, and “older’s” just a word.
You need to embrace every day with gusto, joy and cheer…
Before you know it happiness has filled up the whole year!
Oh...Super fifty-five’s fantastic and it’s not atrocious!
Even though the sound of it can make you feel ferocious.
Plant your feet, and stand up tall, and be a bit precocious.
Super fifty-five’s fantastic and it’s not atrocious!
Um-diddle-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye
Um-diddle-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye
When you were just a little tike you must have felt like me
Your Mother seemed a dinosaur, so old and crotchety.
But we live in another time where age means not a thing
So drop your cane, put in your teeth and with me dance and sing.
Oh...Super fifty-five’s fantastic and it’s not atrocious!
Even though the sound of it can make you feel ferocious.
Plant your feet, and stand up tall, and be a bit precocious.
Super fifty-five’s fantastic and it’s not atrocious!
Um-diddle-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye
Um-diddle-diddle-diddle-um-diddleye
You’ve heard it said a million times by those folks “in the know”
That 50 is the new 40 and on and on it goes.
So now that you have been informed, there’s nothing else to say…
Forget your fears, dry up those tears, and have a Happy Day!
Oh...Super fifty-five’s fantastic and it’s not atrocious!
Even though the sound of it can make you feel ferocious.
Plant your feet, and stand up tall, and be a bit precocious.
Super fifty-five’s fantastic and it’s not atrocious!
