Unlucky 37

Another year, another set of worries.

Long hair has permanently become short,

Those ten pesky pounds are persistent,

the aches are ever-present.

Not quite 40, yet far from 30

is a tough break in the 20s.

Old becomes new, except for you.

You didn’t heed the warnings,

scoffed at your elders

as they spoke of the inevitable.

Good times with better friends.

Welcome to your Lates.
