Maybe I‘m Half Way There Poem by Benjamin Hickmott

I didn‘t get a lot of sleep last night
So many things on my mind
Now i‘m forty-five, though i‘m still alive
Am I slowly running out of time

Though both of my dear old Grandads
And both of my Grandmas knew
As they reached ninety years, with optomistic words
Said, “Your bound to reach a ninety too“

So it‘s alright, I shouldn‘t worry, though maybe i‘m half way there
Yes it‘s alright, I not worried, still got my teeth and still got my hair

So what about a mid-life crisis
Maybe I can have one in June
I have good intentions about old age pensions
I realy should start saving soon

I wouldn‘t say i‘ve gained much wisdom
And not a lot of modesty
But experience, and a bit of decadence
And my children, I n0w have three

So it‘s alright, I shouldn‘t worry, though maybe i‘m half way there
Yes it‘s alright, I not worried, still got my teeth and still got my hair

But the truth is, i‘m growing older
And i've never realy been that fit
I need glasses to read, and i'm loosing speed
And I tend to forget quite a bit

Maybe I should take things easy
Unwind and relax a bit more
Try again to stop smoking, this time i'm not joking
Although I wasn't all those other times before.
