The Old Man

the little old man
said i think i can
climb a big ole mountain
but then again on the other hand
ski diving seems like titan
or maybe i could tight rope walk
over the Grand Canyon
fall to my death i might but hey I'm old
so, my life i could abandon
or maybe i will sail the world
looking for the Lochness monster
he maybe big but ill prove he is that
ugly sea monster
but then again that's to much
for i am a old man
so, across Europe i will stroll
upon a single hand
or maybe even hike the good appellation trial
a bear id come across
he'd be mad but he couldn't resist
when i teach him to play lacrosse,
oh, how i wish i could do these amazing things
but hey it's time for my nap
so that's my adventure for the day
i hit my pillow in my lap
