Sweet Sixteen!

I decided to
Roll against the tide
When i once heard
Someone say
'We're not getting any younger'
So when i became fifty
Still feeling nifty
I decided from that moment on
Not to accept that old swan song
On my birthday, i remove one year of my age
Now getting younger, it's all the rage
Today is my birthday, i'm now thirty three
Now less than half the age, i would of been
And nearly halfway, to being sixteen!
