Sometimes I Wish

Sometimes I wish I was away Away for from here But obligations keep me planted So I cannot leave I'll have to stay here until September Then I can go on vacation At least for now I can hop on my pen And go wherever I please It takes me over mountains Through meadows open wide Into stands of evergreens Down to valleys low With my pen I can ride the rising Sun Or walk the setting moon home I can swim with bottlenose dolphins Or pet a lions Maine I can climb the tallest redwood Surf the biggest wave All I need do is hop on my pen And it takes me on my way Traveling to distant lands Deep within my mind Magical places wide-open spaces Precious private time Though obligations for the moment Keep me planted here My pen is always at the ready To help me disappear

Thanx Kina i'm happy to see you had fun with it and that you love it. I think you would have fun reading winky dinky doodle and his strudel eating poodle.
