Getting older,
Is knowing for sure
Which brand of jam
You prefer.
Or having to google
Twerking AND the celeb
Splashed across the Sunday papers
As you relax
With camomile tea and toast.
Then after turning on the lap-top
Ignoring porn
As the hunt for the perfect
Moccasin moves
onto day four.
It's celebrating birthdays
With grub rather than pubs
and exotic other stuff,
'Cus you're worried
about the morning after.
But best of all
Getting older
Is knowing the difference
Between what matters
and those little silly things
That really don't.
