Young dude's swagger

Shirts off in the sun

Comparing tattoos

With everyone,

Like battle scars

And walking galleries,

They surely are a force of life to see,

 

Testosterone fuelled

And chewing gum,

Singing along

 To the ipod hum.

 

But in every city centre

Of this Twitter Facebook land

Theres a middle age parent looking on

 Trying to understand,

But alas for me those  days have gone,

But the sun hasn't set on the old skin yet.
