Escaping In a Cartoon World

In afternoons I would escape
With cartoons like the Grape Ape
Lounging with my teddy bear
Snacks and goodies we would share
My warm P.J's soft to touch
How I miss those days so much
No worries, concerns, or cares
Laughing till I started tears
From the antics on T.V.
That entertained teddy and me
Bugs, Tweety, Sylvester too
Kept me tranced the whole day through
Porky Pig, Yogi, and Boo Boo
Watching them I grew and grew
Pixie and Dixie-- Chip and Dale
Every weekend without fail
How I miss my younger days
And all of the innocent ways
I had fun and didn't worry
Now each day I'm in a hurry
To keep up with life each minute
And all the craziness in it
