Ted Logan - 90
Ted Logan, pictured with wife Mary, celebrated his 90th birthday on the 3rd of October and at our meeting on the 6th October treated us to a sonnet he had written for his 90th Birthday.
At last I've reached the age of ninety
An age I've never wanted to be.
Put me anywhere, in Federation Square,
Brisbane, Broome or Bendigo,
Well I don’t care.
I’d like to clink a glass with old pals
Before the Grim Grey Reaper snatches me.
Oh. Hoity, toity torty,
Long time since I was forty, Ninety is the age to be.
I’d like to raise a glass to old chums,
Friends of long ago and far away.
Drop me anywhere, Hyde Park or Norfolk Square,
London, Leeds or Liverpool,
Well I don’t care.
Rememb’ring all those many great stays –
Flash-backs of our care-free holidays.
Oh. Nighty, nighty ninety,
Everything is finety,
Ninety is the age for me.
Congratulations Ted!
