Marvellous

Who knew all those years ago,
When I was just a baby,
That anyone would look at me and think
...'He'll grow old and hairy'.

Well here I am a few years on,
And still as happy as ever.
Though when I think 'should I grow up?'
My inner voice says 'NEVER!'.

As I've wondered along through life,
friends have come and gone,
I thought that's the nature of it,
And always just moved on.

But when I think of those today,
That I call friends and family,
I hope that they are here to stay,
To me, that'd be fine and dandy.

So when I look at the world around,
There is so much more to see,
Where to start? and What to do?
Whatever shall I be?

But they are questions for another day,
Because now is the time for life,
No need to worry about future strife,
For today I am Twenty Five!

And if you think I am bad now,
Just you wait and see,
Cus' I'm not going anywhere,
So stop and have some tea.

I'll still be here come rain or shine,
Till my body is old and sundered,
So sod it all,
I'm a merry old fool,
And I'm gonna live till I'm a hundred!
