Closer to the big forty...

by June

As I get closer to the big forty,
there is a part of me wants to be a little naughty.
Only thing is my old man won't allow me to,
for I have to do what he wants me to do.
I want to have friends and with them go out,
turn up my favorite music and dance about.
I'd like to have a laugh and some fun,
not just be a housewife and a mum.
The kids are growing up and soon they'll leave me,
and on my own with the old man I will be.
The thought I have to say scares me a bit,
just growing old with him and on the sofa each night we'll sit.
