Midlife Rap

Parisab

My head’s blowin’ up

getting dizzy

My neck’s gettin sore

speak easy

Five senses overloaded

Bees buzzi

 

Getting tight up

Nip and tucked up

Getting glammed up

 

Never knowin Wha’

Fathertime brough’

Lemons Crush’d up

Manic, bum’d out

 

World is botched up

Prez Narci screwed up

Kids is checked out

People worked up

Press spinning ugly sweaters

Lots of holes never filled up

Info faked out

Follow money

Indies kept out

Takers propped up

 

It’s English I’m speakin’

Make your mind up

Am I ugly American or holding a torch up or getting kicked out

Graced or tacky

I’m gettin’ snappy

I told ya my thousant story

I’m a dungeon of mystery

    deep insight, enveloped
    within that ideal of poetic funtastic
    indeed
    letting our creativity to be free
    is the key to keeping our passion
    for poesy, alive and inking wild!
    (I read and hope to heed, wise Poet)
    thank you! such a fun read

      Way cool. How your mind got to some of those “bars”? Is out of realm of my first 13 guesses and I’m way too shy to spit about getting glammed up
      Props Lady P, Props!

        Superb, and very relatable I don't know what midlife really means but as a woman at the gorgeous age of 49 I'm feeling this, I still feel like an 18 year old though. Loved this it obviously has all your character painted in the lines. The language made me chuckle... 🤗
