EVERYONE NEEDS A MIDLIFE CRISIS NOW AND THEN

It starts when you first suspect your body of perfidy
You defy it by returning to glory days of karate.
Jumps and kicks you perform, 23 you are not.
The odds lie in favor of you spraining your butt.



Shiny new chrome
A trembling 3rd gear
Trading vigor of youth for 900cc of virility
"Mom, that's an awesome new ride!"



Body neglected, 3 children and time.
Choreography seems out of touch with your life.
Pirouetting past problems,
Dancing 'round doubts.
Change up the beat, kick it up just a notch
Shaking the booty 'til it says "F*k, that's enough!"

How many midlife crises does one person get? I'm planning on having ten, starting at age 33 and repeating every three years thereafter.

I hate motorcycles, and you know it.
