Poem
An old wives tale of modern day Say's do not eat before you swim So why are cookies compulsory in order to surf the web ? A plethora of unwarranted advertising from funeral cover to bedroom toys And what i never even clicked on today redirected me to a virtual travel agent And with time on my hands i thought i'd play along So where is your dream destination ? And what is your preferred mode of transportation ? If you could go anywhere at all where exactly would you like to holiday? Where ive always dreamed of going I'm not sure can be reached by Plane , Train , Automobile or Ship As it doesn't reside on any map , ocean , continent or desert island It has yet to be discovered but i have already been there Where i'd love and give anything to go ? Is simply back in time to my past But alas i fear you are in the business of time share not time travel And sadly i have run out of the will or desire to create new memories all i want to do is to relive my old one's Back to a time when i knew who i was before i pawned my father's watch Back to before i chose to tread the trampled path of woe that finds me in the present I'm sure at fleeting once i was a child before i became the man i am Little boy Pinocchio who wished wanted and was willing to try anything just not to he or who he actually was Despite the fact that everyone who ever met him really liked him spoke highly of him and sought him as a friend But never was it enough nor could he see what others seen in him Until the day it finally dawned on him and it was far to late Though he thought of himself as an oyster shell All along he was in fact the secret treasured pearl hidden deep inside within it
