I didn’t play with the band…

Poem Artwork

I never seemed to play with the band,

Though I have not lived too long,

I never sang with others the same song,

I was always different; I loved to play in the sand…

 

Sure when I was young,

I wanted to have fun,

I swam in the ocean,

And made for my parents much emotion,

But did I really change much,

The world hasn’t changed,

Though far I have ranged…

 

Older & with more knowledge I do get,

I try not to of anything realistic fret,

Not into gambling, I never make a bet,

But in my reclusive “man” cave I think,

For the rest of my life I am quite well set…

I was always different; I loved to play in the sand…

I remember; we always had to pull you out of the sand. You should get a cat and build a huge sandy litter box, where you both could play in the sand!
