My Ruthless Dreams Collaboration

Up early and off to school I must go
Full of pep and not too slow,
That was then when I was young
This is now a new age I have begun,
How I hate them as I climb out of bed
Early mornings are for the dead,
Unreasonable I must seem
Unyieldingly demanding where is my coffee cream,
But I did love them bed and pillow
Seems so long ago I dreamed of an armadillo,
Now they‘re ruthless dreams
I just can’t do them with ice cream,
I’m now past my prime teens.

Hello Paula … well aware about your poem. I recall when I thought forty was old and will I ever reach eighteen. Time travels much quicker than we think - thank you Paula - Lindsay

Thank You, for writing. I love to hear what other writers have to say. Funny how we want to get older, then we get older & we want to be young again........

You sure had fun here...but I believe the getting up early part...that is real...it's more of a mind thing as we age...body parts can relax...All the best Paula
