Silly Self-Talk

Silly Self-Talk

I had a conversation with myself, as many of us often do, 
I asked myself a question, and expected an answer too.

Did you ever take time out, to let your imagination run wild?
As you walked in the sand, bucket in hand like an innocent young child. 

Did you ever stop to wonder, what you would do?
If you looked outside, the sky was green and all the grass was blue.

Did you ever say to yourself, if not now, then when?
As you stood pool side and pondered, jumping into the deep end.

No, I never stopped to think what, when, where, why or how!
I just ran around in circles, trying to lasso a spotted cow.

Hello Eric, thanks! We all need to tap into our imaginative side at some point in life. It helps to bring out the Genius in Us! Thanks!

This is certainly funny silly Sarita. I agree that lassoing a spotted cow would be on blue grass
