I waited and waited for many a year
Was never able to make a decision
My daughter, she pushed me and prodded me on
But I just didn’t have her clear vision
She said, Dad you turn 50, it’s reason for sure
Don’t you really think it’s now the time?
I’ll call them for you and make the appointment
Will you think of a real cool design?
I pondered the idea of something I’d like
Also, just where I’d like it to be
I gave my ideas to the artist I met
And asked him to design it for me
He asked for some time to get it all ready
Said the design was not one that he knew
But just one week later when I had returned
He had shown me this real wild tattoo
Outside of my bicep, my left arm displayed
Proved perfect for this piece of art
So, I took off my shirt and gave him my arm
As this man then proceeded to start
After 3 hours, such diligence deployed
My arm had birthed a new swagger
With my new black and white, a little blood red
Displayed was my heart stabbed with dagger
