Life Begins At 65

I’m only just 64, but life begins at 65

I thank all my friends who sent me birthday wishes yesterday.

I can’t wait for the party to start when, finally, I get born one year from today.

But, it’s alright. Some people are only in their thirties, forties, fifties and early sixties. They have to wait a while to get born and start rocking.

At 65, you’ve done it all. Life has thrown all it has at you, and you have stood your ground. You can easily say, “Ẹran kí la ò jẹ rí? What edible flesh am I yet to chew?”
