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
