Mess Time

I aim to live long and then look back to enjoy

the memories of when I was a very old boy,

a very old boy long into second childhood,

when once again, I will be much misunderstood.

For such is a time when we may get to play

at any old game that we want to that day

and get in a mess that won't bother us at all

like those times long before, when we were so very small....

Love this Dave, mans second childhood, although some women say it is a continuation of our first childhood. Well written :)
