Like Children We Play

Like children we play
Those games of long ago
Yes, we are adults,
But maturity we forgo

To be like a child again
And live so carefree
The eyes of children in us
Had never left you and me.

We dreamt as kids
Grown up we wished to be
But here we are older
And kids again we wished to see.

So we play those kiddie games
But we play with an adult mind
And hope we have as much fun
If mother nature is so inclined.

This poem was composed after a full day of fun with battery operated water pistols. It all started when my then bf, Frankie, and i had purchased the water pistols the nite before. twas his fault for offering to take his shower second. As soon as he stepped into the shower, i filled both pistols with water and returned to the bedroom, laying in wait. When i felt he was about half way dried, i bursted into the bathroom, with both pistols going. The stunned look on his face was truly a Kodak moment. We then spent the rest of the day terrorizing all of Arlington, Texas with our water pistols. for those kids that are now adults living there, yes, it was us squirting you!!!! LOL
