The Time of my Life by Joseph Sire

The time of my life by Joseph Sire

For several days I have heard strange sounds

Like ghosts all around

 

I see the huge Burj Khalifa

And the road sign of Jumeirah

 

I smell the tasty French cheese

And I breathe the European mountain breeze

 

I read comics and a short story

Seated on my bed I am a kiddy

 

I remember when it was raining

It was the time of my judo training

 

I hear my parents speaking English

I think they are talking Spanish

 

I watch Kung Fu Panda laid on the sofa

It was before I discover Chewbacca

 

I drink a hot chocolate with my Grandma’s puppet

And this crazy cat wanted to lick it up, I bet !

 

For several days I have heard strange sounds

Like ghosts all around

All this is the time of my life

Before my destiny flies me to wildlife

 

In South Africa
