Adventure Time

Now I will tell you a story.
Some of it might even be true.
But that is for you to decide.
Once I took a trip around the world.

In a hot air balloon.
For sure I went past the point of no return.
As I left my footprints in the sand.
And swung on ropes tied to the moon.

Swam with the dolphins in the deepest of seas.
I became fast friends with a few mermaids. 
They were the sirens of the seven seas.
You might not believe the things I did see.

But I assure you, all this is true.
I watched a volcano erupt right before my eyes.
I rode a bucking bronco all the way until the end.
Went back to school and found myself a degree.

A social science degree. I really really did find it.
I found it on the floor right in front of me
For if there is anything true about me,
I love to be on the social scene.

this is very cool, the mix between fantasy and reality and wondering, did you even really get a degree in social science? Sure enjoyed this one that I noticed you posted on my birthday a few years back!!
