hah!
I’m not paunchy
as some of my aged (like me) friends
I can still stand up straight
look down . . . and see it
and yes
it still works
I sit around in jeans
in front of the computer
ahhh . . .
the computer is like my wife
I fondle it, curse it
tell it my deepest, dark secrets
come April
I will be a year older
eh . . . but I don’t sit in front of the wife
in those round, rimless spectacles
hell no
I am the coolest damned old guy around
my wife and I
write poems, novels, et al
all day as we drink our cuppa joe
mellowing out
into that cheap California burgundy
in the night
my wife and I don’t write
as we drink our wine
Hemmingway said, write drunk, edit sober
naw . . . doesn’t work for me
just a little rundown on moi
tootin’ my own horn
the coolest old guy around . . . heh.heh
