"Over The Hill?"
Women are the easiest to tell when they hit 40.
You just count the rings under their eyes.
For men, you're middle aged if your crowd
considers you sexy just because you still have
hair.
Men and women know they've reached middle
age when they notice kids are getting noisier and
the latest music is getting worse.
Anybody who can remember when "boobs" meant
"the dumb kids" surely qualifies for middle age.
Ain't it hell though to reach your "September Years"
and discover that you blew the best of July and August.
And ain't it funny how when you're 50, suddenly 60
doesn't sound all that old anymore.
I'd love to know what part of the body whoever said
"Life begins at forty" was referring to -- seems to me
that every damn thing else is starting to wear out then.
Middle age is usually reckoned at between 40 - 60.
It's easy to tell when you hit there though, regardless
of age, by the way it hits you back.
You younger people out there -- wait until the first time
your kids or Grandkids reveal that they are studying in
"history class" events you lived through.
