The Mid-Life Crisis

The Mid-Life Crisis By Elton Camp It was at the age of forty-five A new car Fred bought to drive You might think he’d buy a sedan In keeping with being a family man He thought a convertible would be nice Above the dash was a fuzzy pair of dice He had “Mean Machine” put on the side With painted, red flames, Fred did ride So that anyplace that he would go, He’d be called by chicks, “Daddy-O” The problem was seen by Fred’s wife It was a crisis brought by mid-life After a few months, he settled down And got his feet planted on the ground Thirty years later, he did the same again But this time he was too old to create sin
