are you THERE yet?

Getting from here to there in our lives can be a daunting task, and often works out like the poem suggests. One might have to read this slowly?

Poem Artwork

 

are you THERE yet?

I wonder how to get THERE,
if THERE I want to be?
For HERE I am, not over there,
but THERE I want to be.

THERE I see, way over there,
'a waving back at me.
Now I must leave HERE behind,
if THERE I want to see.

So HERE I am no longer,
yet THERE stays out of reach.
For every time I get THERE,
I end up HERE you see.

So HERE is my dilema,
can't get from HERE to THERE.
I think that I'll just stay right HERE,
and leave THERE over there.

But then I got to thinking,
THERE cannot be that far.
Just stay HERE and add a " T ",
see THERE, it wasn't hard!

But then one day I left the " T ",
to get HERE back from THERE.
Then I came upon a " W ",
and can now go any Where!

Are you THERE yet?

I love your lighthearted humour in this...( I'm a Brit'..ie not 'humour')
But what if you were a quantum particle
with the 'observer effect?
'just a thought! :)

The GPS can be a mess! Are we there yet? Going around in circles can lead to a lot of stress!

Enjoyed the parlaying of word usage and the challenge to understand the reading.

Reading as an adult, I find this poem to be more like a riddle. Discovering where I'm at is easy. It's where I hang my hat. Only I don't wear a hat, so I'm not sure exactly where I'm at. Not even sure if I'm there yet. But in the final destination, I'll be there, wherever that's at.

Yep William, many of my poems can easily be put to song. It is just my style and the songwriter in me I guess. Most of the ones that I put under "humor", might be better categorized under "children" on the Den, like "The One Eyed Fish". I wish, you could pick two categories for your poem and not just one!
Hope all is well.
