Interesting idea ...
if I felt up to writing, although it's been far more than 40 winters for me.

Forty and nineteen...good numbers!
-
40 winters seem a mighty long time ago - but I'll see what I can do!
Good luck with this one.

I am sorry. I just realized that your rules wanted 19 lines only. I was so caught up in finding all I have had to think and talk about with authority since I turned 39, let alone 40, that I did not see this late last night when I entered your contest.
I just now tried to condense this entry into 19 lines and there is no way I can get the same point across with 19 lines; as if I had the Power of the Wizard, I would do so much more than 19 lines would allow...lol...I will withdraw my entry, have a great day and maybe next time I will read ilo of scanning the rules when I enter your contest.
Blessed Be~
