The Fifth Decade

We’ve pros and cons at any age, and yet
the decade I would call the worst to date
has got to be the 5th. Did you forget
the multitasking brooking no debate?
The loss of will or skill to stay up late?
Diminished stamina, uncertain time?
The start of body aches that don’t abate,
besetting what all claim should be your prime?
