Once Upon An Under Edited Mid-Life Crisis

Once upon an under edited and somewhat jaded, 
female’s mid-life crisis
she sat down to contemplate the options of all her
“age appropriate” vices’

“Debauchery deficient”, “depravity bereft”,she 
was "tragically prosaic”.
sadly ending her self-indulgent deprecation 
with,“pitifully archaic”
 
Upon further diagnosis and self
evaluation, she concluded 
she had neither mid-life crisis nor deficiency, 
but was brazenly deluded!

Severe results of this delusion; 
insomnia induced proliferation:
this excessively verbose and heinously, 
superfluous pontification!
