Forty

I think I'll work on my abs today Maybe run on the belt Work some muscles that in 15 years I haven't felt Like a player in concussion Like the caveman with no pelt, I coulda been sporty But forty is forty Every day I look at the status, Checkin’ for cracks in my dreams Sometimes I get to thinkin’ I could only ever act in extremes I hatch a scenario Of Hollywood gangland schemes A page from Get Shorty Well I'm only forty So now I’m in the bullring But the bull won’t give me a glance It’s a real tough situation In the deep end of a romance But my sword is feeling potent – Why not give things another chance with the one who gored me? That’s life at forty. 2015
