MAN I Can Feel The CRACKS ... !!!
As My Body ... LACKS ...
The Youth It Once Had ... !!!

When I Could Withstand Exercise Programmes ....
That Worked All The Muscles That Slowly DO Crumble ... !!!

When Old Age GRABS And Let's You Know ...

.... " Slow down there bro, because you should know,
.... that your muscle tone, ain't there no more !
.... So, slow your roll, because your getting old ! "

You See When Your OLD Bones And Muscles CRACK ...
In DIFFERENT Ways To When You Were A Lad ... !!!

It's Time To Ease Back And ... RECOGNISE ... !!!!!!!
That Cracks In Your Body May Well Subside ...
Like Cracks In Homes Because of Landslides ... !!!

So Take Your Time ......
When Cracks Are DEFINED Within Your Life ... !!!!!!

Like Those In The Pipe That Affect Young Lives ...
And Result In Tears Or Those That Appear ...
When Angst Is Steered Towards Your Wife ... !!!!!!!!

And You Start To REALISE That Married Life ...
...... ISN'T Working For You ...... !!!

Because of The CRACKS You REFUSED To View ...
When She Was Making Love To You ... !!!

And Girlies TOO... RECOGNISE What's REAL ... !!!
Don't Let SWEET Talkers Make You Feel ...
As If NO Cracks Will Ever ... REVEAL ...

The Person BEHIND ...
All Those SWEET Chat Up Lines ... !!!

That May In Time .... Become BITTER When FIGHTS ....
Make You Recognise WHY You NEED To Take Flight ......

Because That Guy ... AIN’T Mr Right ... !!!!!!!!!

You See Cracks Can Hide ...
If You Don't Choose To OPEN Your Eyes ... !!!

And Make SMART MOVES ....
Rather Than Take Rides That AREN'T SO NICE ... !!!!

Once Sex And Smiles NO LONGER Provide ...
What You THINK Will Link Your Souls For LIFE ...

Because Spirits CRACK So ... THINK About That ... !!!
Before You Make Plans With Those Whose STANCE ...

ISN’T Firm Like Land That's EVEN And FLAT ... !!!
Well I Guess That's THAT When It Comes To FACTS ...

But FACTS Like Tracks Where The Bass Is PHAT ... !!!!
Are Where What’s CRACKED Can Be FILLED And WITHSTANDS ...

The Pressures We Face As Our Bodies AGE ...

I Wrote This Piece Because My Back ...
Said To Me TODAY Via ... PHYSICAL PAIN ... !!!

.... " Right now old boy, I can't take the strain,
.... of the exercise, that you should maintain,
.... but maybe these days, in different ways..."

So Now My Brain Has Found A Way ...
To CRACK Away Via Pen and Page ...

To Write These Words ...
That DO NOT Hurt Quite Like MY BACK ... !!!!!

And That's A FACT Like It Is To TRY HARD ...
To AVOID The ....................................

.......... " CRACKS " ...........
