Growing older and wiser but never been perfect,
42 and unemployed, better than being in debt.
I mean, I feel in shape for my age, there's that,
Still enjoy playing Tekken and Mortal Kombat.
Working out at the local gym or going walking,
Not on Facebook and don't do cyber stalking.
Stopped bouldering but I'll get back to it one day,
Single as can totally be, also straight and not gay.
Only on my poetry Tiktok I chase likes and views,
Short, shaved head, blue eyes and some tattoos.

I thought you meant the number itself, but this is excellent. Thank you for sharing.
Thank you!
Yes, 'The Hitch-hikers guide to the Galaxy' - 'The answer to everything is 42', whatever that means. Not that I've read that rubbish. lol.
You knows it - for me, the answer to everything (probably) is, erm, Eddie Thompson, or some initialled guy. lol.
Haha I remember that film.
You mean the film with Eddie Thompson in it? lol.
A poetic post, an add for attraction, a document for display. Revealing and sufficiently complete. Well done
Cheers!
Most welcome Shaun
Shaun, this is such a fun and refreshingly honest self-portrait! You present yourself exactly as you are...no grand claims, no unnecessary polish, and plenty of humor. Thoroughly enjoyed this, my friend! 🌹🖤🙏🕯️🐦⬛
