Peta Pan

I have a very childlike mind,
I've never left my childhood behind,
Most people think that I am daft,
Cos childish thoughts make me laugh,
It's ridiculous but sublime!

Your "Peta Pan" is a creative/fun write. I use the childlike part of my mind to keep from going crazy in this crazy world. Have a fun/blessed day with your young side..............

Great minds Miss Shirley….my inner child is very strong and I love and laugh at children’s thoughts and humour. You are not daft Shirley you are just lovely! Your poem is so simply sweet and cute! Love it….Debx

Young children are honest because of their innocents. Take care, ShirleyX

My father-in-law called me, "Seani-Onionman" to my face, and behind my back referred to me as, "that daft bugger", but what could one expect from a bank manager who thoroughly enjoyed watching Tom & Jerry cartoons over and over and over again? Enjoy your life, Shirley! Aloha!

This made me smile, Rico; it takes one to know one. And I feel that if I am comfortable thinking like a child, and if I come over looking and sounding daft, I do not find this a problem because I know this stops me from going completely bonkers.
