Excellent
Not yet exceptional. When the exceptional rating is reached this is highlighted
Aging is often not easy

A Mid Life Crisis

by jaybird1

He's sitting front and center
as we toast him here today.
'Tis sad he'll ne'er reenter,
his youth, once bright and gay.

Despite his promising career,
his darling wife and kids;
We hope the spectors lurking near
won't send him into skids.

You see, he's turning big 5-O,
O! The trauma of it all.
His spring and summer came and went
and up ahead looms fall.

Now, at life's epicenter
bereaved with loss of fun;
To see what's waiting down the road-
Just grab life's ball and run.

1980

Sadly, this old friend went middle age crazy, had affairs
and just about ruined his life.
Pays one point and 2 member cents.
