“Living it up-Living it Down”



At age 60+ one has to be living it up,

What better time to be a cutup.

The “Golden Years”, a term to shine,

A glorious part of life with no deadline.

Your schedule is never a priority,

Take your time, enjoy the bounty.

This is not the time to quibble,

Each chosen moment fun-filled and blissful.

Enjoy the grand children at every turn,

Not like the kids who created your heartburn.

There’s no time for “living it down”,

Never consider your life is in the countdown!

Cherish every minute you spend with friends,

Who can say how those moments your life extends!

By “living it up” you’ll have left your mark,

By “living down”, you have left no trademark!
