I
would be cunning if I were to say,
“The
second childhood does not bother me,
I
do not care ‘bout keeping it at bay,
I
won’t be troubled should I live to see
Its
cruel effect on my petite grey cells,
My
somewhat high (if questionably) mental
Capacity.” True, as the time propels
Me
toward the finish, I get sentimental –
I
love my brain. Yet, I would gladly choose
The
soft’ning of its squiggly-wiggly matter
O’er
hardened heart. I would not bear to lose
My
quirks and laugh lines, specially the latter –
I’d
go all wrinkly lest I fail to joy
In
things like puddles, fireflies, or a toy.
Live
for the Love of it,
Happy
wonderful! (and me too:) have you seen the new Charlie Brown Movie? I have not but it is on my hope-to-do list.
ReplyDeleteI've been puzzling over how you did the top photo...did you do the drawing as well?
DeleteI think i need to get a Happy Meal;-))
Thank you, Janet! Love this Charlie Brown - I type, and it bobbles :-)
DeleteNo, I haven't seen the new movie yet. I'm a bit afraid I'll be disappointed - I love the old drawn cartoons and classic voices. I'll give it a try, maybe it'll turn out to be great :-)
I took a picture of my computer with the toys sitting on top of the keyboard!
ReplyDeleteYes, that's my drawing. A self-portrait. :-)

I'm with you there 100% :)
Quirks make us who we are.
I don't follow the Kardashians, but its's hard to escape them. One of them apparently said that she doesn't smile in pictures, because it causes wrinkles. Poor woman.
