Switch of the Telly

Switch off the telly Calm the nerves in your belly Release the stress from your head Don't worry about what they said Accepting ourselves though there are things we lack To have a purpose and give something back To be accepting of others our sisters and brothers It's to share warmth and laughter, that's what we're all after Breathe in the fresh cut grass, don't worry about the size of your ****. Soak up the sunshine, feel it warm your bones We will survive five minutes without our phone's. Kick back and relax in your fuzzy socks and crocs, I'll do the dinner, mashed potato and lamb chops?

Well executed piece, no reading between the lines necessary. Children actually survive without it better than most adults. Like your writing style, will look at more of your work. Best regards David in NZ
