Into the Woods

It was a lovely day and I decided to take a walk
I went outside my back door and went straight
As I kept going I heard birds do a melodious talk
Next I saw the entrance to the woods and I went in

On my journey I heard the sound of water flowing
I noticed a beautiful waterfall and I got underneath it
All of a sudden I felt years younger and I was glowing
The fine wrinkles on my skin began to vanish at once

I thought to myself, could these woods hold the key,
to one never growing old? I will make a fortune
Next the you know I heard ringing, I had an urge to pee
I realized I didn't make a discovery, it was all a dream
