I am 42

 All my favorite baseball players

are fat and dead

 

I wish I could apologize to the girlfriends I had at 19

 

I tasted like cigarettes and didn't know where the clitoris was

 

I still don't entirely

 

But age has taught me to try

 

I have a vague idea

like remembering an AOL password

or the name of that restaurant in Spain we went to

the second day of our honeymoon

 

I have a wonderful wife, I have a wonderful daughter, 

I want for nothing but scotch I can't afford

 

No TV studio would buy my story

 

I asked the doctor if I can continue eating out of a trash can

 

He said no and recommended 5 ounces of notebook paper

and 20 gallons of water a day

 

If you season it right it's fine

I lied

it isn't

 

Sometimes I eat cold pizza after 11pm

I convince myself it's a smaller piece when I record the calories

don't tell Doctor Stevens

 

The other day I made a Seinfeld reference 

to the 21-year-old cashier at the liquor store

she stared at me blankly 

 

I've still got that edge baby
