And laughter in your stride.

Forty and Fooling None
You're forty, and you know it,
You feel it in your bones, your knees,
In your wallet, and your growing list
Of antiques, oddly enough, they're all plain to see.
But don't you dare think of resignation,
Instead, embrace this new lease on life,
For forty's just the start of a whole new antics scene,
Where laughter's the elixir, and you're the alchemist of your own strife.
Now that's what we call finding humor in the smallest of... oh, you know, minor aches and pains. Embrace this new chapter, and let the laughter flowed like the finest forty-year-old wine (that you probably can't afford, but hey, it's the thought that counts!)

Time to get punny, folks! Forty is the perfect age to pull out all the puns, the dad jokes, the cheesy humor. So, let's roll up our white sleeves (because, you know, forty and a little more wisdom) and dive into some punny poetry.
After all, who needs a joke when you can have a poem-joke? Yeah, we went there too!
Forty's a pursuit of laughter
You're forty and you're fabulous,
And laughter's your number one pursuit.
Your jokes are cheesy,
Your puns areazy,
But oh how we love to partake, it's the truth!
So here's to forty,
And the laughter it breeds,
In the jokes, and the pranks,
And the endless puns, we greedily read.
Forty might be the new thirty, but who Needs boring thirties when you can have Forty-ties? (See what we did there? We totally just trademarked Forty-ties, or did we? Did someone already trademark that? Never mind, it's ours, ours, all ours!)
40 Years of Wordplay
Forty years of life,
Four decades of strife,
And through it all,
You've found your allowance for wordplay.
Your jokes might not always be gold,
But they're always forty-voiced,
And your punny banter,
In our books, forever adored.
Okay, we're not saying you're a pun-der God. But forty's all about finding your powers, your strengths, and in this case, your tribes. So, raise a glass of your finest sparkling laughter to the pun master they call... you!
