Act Your Age
I was and should have been
old enough to know better
As i was 35 + year's old at
the time
But on a drenched rainy day
finding myself without any
thing to do or keep myself
entertained
I and my friend grabbed a
football and went out to play
on the park
And upon arrival finding that
park awash with puddles
I wishing to feel a child again
Ran and dove into one of those
puddles head first
As only a child would for no
other reason than the unbridled
joy because i could
And though dirty and wet as i
ended up
God was it worth it
Hell yes
Because for 1 single moment
I didn't no longer feel 36
I felt i was 6 year's old again
And expected to be told off
by my mum when i got home
God how i miss being young
And why anything that makes
me feel young
However childish that may seem
Is oh so worth being told off for
Because a child doesn't mind
being scolded
If what they did was fun enough
to warrant a telling off
And why kid's say and do the
funniest thing's
And why grown ups are boring
