Sometimes I did really stupid things when I was young. I never thought of the consequences in later life. Back and neck issues, arthritis from broken bones...

"Brake" Dance

Age catches us unaware

Topping heads with silver hair

It takes little to entertain

Our addled and feeble brain

Infinitesimal hints of decline

Such as expanding waistline

What shall we do for fun

Being a city dwelling denizen

Drive, to a deserted lot we go

Empty car spaces row after row

Working pedals, frolicking feet

Stab and release to the beat

Hands skip around the wheel

Lip sync with laughter and zeal

Heads snap forward and back

Simulating machine gun attack

Wrinkly winker winks, romance

Aged version of "brake" dance
