Middle Aged Cheat

A poem I wrote about the life of this middle aged man.

I'm closer to 50 than 40.

I'm closer to 300 than 200.

I'm closer to gray than brown.

My sex life is closer to

Once a month than once a week.

I'm closer to old than young.

I go to bed closer to 10 than 12.

I'm closer to retired than employed.

So I couldn't have been more

surprised when she flirted with me.

I'm closer to semi than hard

I'm closer to a Crown Vic, than a Corvette

I'm closer to Macys than Walmart

So I just gave her my number

when she asked for it.

I'm closer to an owner than a renter

I'm closer to AAA than Napa Auto Parts

I'm closer to IRA than food-stamps

So when she leaned over to put my number

in her phone I looked down her blouse

I'm closer to diabetes than fitness

I'm closer to a heart attack than a noon er

I'm closer to conservative than liberal

So when she glanced up, caught me looking,

Smiled and touched my hand, I blushed.

I'm closer to married than single

I'm closer to dependable than depends

I'm closer to wise than foolish

So when she excused herself to use

the ladies room I fled the scene.
