40 by Gaylia Kenslow Stogsdill

Oh say can “Thou” see what has happened to “Thee”?
Why, just overnight – it has happened – Oh me!
I can’t understand “Thy” thinning hair –
And it seems “thy” waistline has drifted somewhere.
Now yesterday “Thou” was dapper and sporty!
Is this what happens when “Thy” turns 40?
