Thirty Seven

Awoke at 6:37 after hitting snooze Thirty seven times with Thirty seven aches and pains To thirty seven worn out bones And as I washed my face for Thirty seven seconds of cold water I lifted my head to the mirror and noticed 3 forehead wrinkles and 7 zits….hmmmmm I walk past the mirror and as I dress realize The thirty seven dimples in my ass Immediately retreating to the eliptical For thirty seven minutes I get a call from my mother reminding me That thirty seven years ago, she became my mom And I realize that I am thirty seven million times Grateful of the thirty seven years of love I think about the thirty seven years ahead of me And the more than thirty seven times I’ll examine My wrinkles and remember they were born of Thirty seven years worth of smiles and tears What a great day to be thirty seven I believe I’ll celebrate with less than thirty seven Glasses of wine and laugh at least thirty seven Times as I surround myself with those that love me And luckily I’m so inlove and I can retreat to The arms of a handsomely wonderful man And whisper about how awesome it is to be Thirty seven and if he’s lucky Theres something else I may do thirty seven times
