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..............

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.
