the conundrum

woke up this morning to discover

that all my muscles hurt

my neck is stiff and my 

lower spine is hard

what did I do?

sure saturday golf was fun

and saturday night was a blast.

perhaps it was the extra aperol spritz

something in the course of events

let me to think

it would be a good idea to 

try some moves from my youth

you know the ones

handstand push ups

one armed handstands

fire-mans lifts of 100kg blokes.

now sunday was a relaxed day

in the spanking sunshine

on the rug on the lawn

with a beer or two.

monday however is a different story

did I play full tackle football recently?

why does everything hurt.

and then the moment of realisation.

you are in fact getting older

you cant do what you used to do

and get away with it

without consequences.

and therein

lies the rub

a timely reminder that although

I still feel like this

I'm obviously

not the same guy.

or rather I am the same guy

I'm just getting older

and subconsciously isn't it about time

I admitted it?

naah

fuck that.

who can I carry next.
