My beer bump

I’ve got a beer bump.
Not a beer belly,
but its predecessor.
I haven’t been chubby
since I was ten.
I leaned down
and bulked up
through high school,
playing every sport
I could.
I looked great In college,
working out every day
or at least every other.
It’s hard to workout
when you’re hungover,
but my metabolism
was my saving grace.
Now I’m 40
and my metabolism
has retired,
working half days
and taking weekends
and holidays off.
I’m running every day
in the morning
when the heat
is more forgiving.
My beer bump
is disappearing day by day.
One of these days,
I’ll find my abs again.
