Naked Dreams

Fifty years old and back in high school
Standing here naked like a total fool
No one seems to care
That I am totally bare
Not noticing me is much more uncool

Yes, I would agree with that, JOe. What a nightmare. Congratulations. (I went to a HS reunion after 50, almost like a bad dream too, seeing how everyone changed!) Luv, andrea

That was my dream too, only I went to work and was very upset that no one paid attention to me. But being fifty is even funnier. Great write, I enjoyed the write. Good luck in the contest. Caryl
