Sixty is Only a Number!

This pome will take you for a ride
So hold on tight and jump inside.
Go with the flow - my words imbibe
Bright images in overdrive!

This is a tricky date to hide:
Eggs this old should not be fried
In golf a low score - player's pride
Headlines this old - cut and dried.

Weak lightbulb wattage at bedside
Far too late for groom and bride
Few wedding vows this long survive!
A career this long - is one tough ride!

It's many years to spend "inside"
In terms of hiking miles - a stride
So what am I trying to describe?
The date you reach on Monday's* tide!
