Poem Commentary

So many of us think about "turning back the hands of time," and how much different things could, would or SHOULD have turned out. I think it's better to appreciate everything we have...but the occasional daydream certainly doesn't hurt. :)

Daydreaming

Daydreaming

 

If life was a "flashback" like on the TV

What would I do and where would I be?

Maybe a doctor, a lawyer a Nun

Could be an Actor, that life does seem fun

 

Never have married, no children in sight

A swanky apartment, a life that's "just right"

The envy of all, a great body, too

Take walks in the part, maybe visit the zoo

 

A humanitarian, giving my all

Ensuring a good life to those great and small

Or spending my leisure on the deep sea

Catching the rays, my life so care-free

 

Maybe hopping a shuttle to France or to Spain

So fluent in languages, because of my brain

But then with THAT brain, disease I could cure

A scientist, yes, that's my choice, for sure

 

I'll certainly be a Nobel prize winner

And have Alec Baldwin over for dinner

The formulas I've discovered will be

The greatest thing this world ever could see

 

But something goes wrong, a scandal is had

I mixed the wrong potion, my science was bad

The intern and I would make the front page

Because of my formula and his UNDER AGE

 

The dreams that were mine would soon disappear

The houses, the cars replaced by pure fear

Now facing jail-time, and MY lawyer SUCKS

She's losing my case and costing BIG BUCKS

 

So sitting alone right here in my cell

I dream of a life that isn't such hell

So closing my eyes and counting to three

I open them up SO GLAD TO BE ME!

Very, very comical, but reality wise... true! You put a very pleasant twist in my day, thanks. Good work.

Thx, Sir FreeBird. Glad I could twist up...I mean put a twist in your day. Or maybe you're just "twisted" all on your own. :) :)

Poetry is not a turning loose of emotion, but an escape from emotion.

T. S. Eliot (1888-1965) American-English poet and playwright.
