My Get-Up-and Go
My “get-up and go” nowhere to be found
Can’t seem to find it ‘cause it just ain’t around
My friends all insist it left long ago
Yet I know for sure that’s just ain’t so
They insist they’ve witnessed my daily noon swoon
They say it’s a swoon, but don’t dance to their tune
A nap here and there is not yet a crime
At mid-noon, eve or any other old time
My get-up and go just got up and went
They claim it’s made me a tired old gent
With envy they label me as a pretender
Because of my prowess with the opposite gender
My “get-up and go” is just on a sabbatical
No ‘cause for the doomsayers to sound so fanatical
When it returns I’ll be ready to fly
My friends will see, I’m the same gung-ho guy
