Growing Up

Run outside, Jump in the leaves That fall beneath the maple tree. The rabbit hole been covered long, So it is safe to sleep upon. I sleep all day in the breeze, Then finally wake from a dream. In my dream, the monsters came, As angels cried and Sirens sang. We marched around for hours long, Causing mayhem in the wrong. We picked up cats by their tails, Messed up rooms and let out wails. We crashed cars, boats, and trains. Knocked down buildings without blame, Until I heard a voice that rang, Dinnertime had come again. Where I would sit quietly, And even eat my food nicely. I’d do my homework, Brush my teeth, Then go to bed and fall asleep.
