Happpppeeeee bathdays

Important birth dates are
3 to 12
when you know
what friends are bringing
as gifts

at 16 when you want
only one to know
sweet sixteen

25 when you play up
with your wife
the time is nearing

to be up sooner after 50
when you are getting bulgy wullgy

At 75
darling where is my toothbrush
give it to me
ere I go and leave all alone

I may need it upstairs
come share with me
toothpaste fifty: fifty

beyond that age
only you be happy
anaesthesia

okay euthanasia
would do for me

you stay back and be happy

Style / type: 
Free verse
Review Request (Intensity): 
I want the raw truth, feel free to knock me on my back

gawd..sweet poem
they were selling the salts up
here...dude from cali that had
that unfortunate moment
knew his attacker..he recovered
sans a few things
..
bathday

I used to celebrate the passing
of years
no longer...
more winters to get past
now at this age
but I like the notation of
age in this poem
I did not grow up the angry
lonely bachelor
I chose to live with people
along..help..assist..
at the point where Im having
memory issues
etc..mildy now
but it will increase as it should

still got all my contacts
most burn their bridges by
this time

Im lucky

Awesome Poem
about the moments of life
thank U Lovedly

Mr Esker!

You alone r reading me
at times does Ian too
So thank you
do read my
Bob Dylan
Noble Nobel too

and once again thank you
