Still a Teenager At Heart

Remembering the loving days of my youth Love was on my mind 24/7 Every pretty girl that passed me by Was more gorgeous that the one before Guess what? It's still true today! Age has no bearing I am considered very old by most standards But I still feel like a teenager at heart It never leaves us, this attraction The yearning for love, sweet love When I was a young man The thought of my parents making love Was a totally foreign concept to me It must have happened Otherwise I wouldn't be writing this But somehow it seems inconceivable No! Mom and Dad? No! EEEEWWWW! Strange how we *****sapiens have evolved The no holds barred topics of today Can totally astound me Topics that were never talked about ever back then Topics that would have been considered pornographic Are now talked about freely In everyday conservation Don't know about you guys But I preferred it the way it was back then © Jack Ellison 2014

I sure liked your poem Jack. Those day's are only warm memory away. If moms was still with us she would surely agree.

The young generation has few morals, and takes drugs on a whim... I don't know a one who hasn't done so... But we have allowed all sorts of bad things to become easily accessible to them... And their idea of law and order is... Can I get away with it... Not, is it right or wrong... I saw it coming with 2 parents working and kids in babysitting warehouses where mob mentality prevails... It changed a generation... Sad. They are taught not to care...

:) Yes, Kenny...there has to be a certain sense of decency. Not everything should be talked about...depends on the place, depends on the people, I guess..... :) Keep being a teenager......age is just number.

This age of 'anything goes' is not for me, my dear Eileen! Guess I'm just old fashioned when it comes to language and subject matter in the public forum! From the old school!! Thanks once again for your kind words, Eileen! Love Kenny XOXOX
