when I was young

When I was young, it seemed that life was so wonderful
A miracle, oh it was beautiful, magical
And all the birds in the trees, well they'd be singing so happily
Oh joyfully, playfully watching me
But then they send me away to teach me how to be sensible
Logical, oh responsible, practical
And they showed me a world where I could be so dependable
Oh clinical, oh intellectual, cynical
There are times when all the world's asleep
The questions run too deep
For such a simple man
Won't you please, please tell me what we've learned
I know it sounds absurd
Please tell me who I am

Roger Hodgson

Things that I couldn’t do then:

Have ice cream for dinner.
Wear my shorts as short as I like.
Drive in the fast lane.
Stay up until 2 a.m.
Purchase cheap insurance.
Watch R-rated movies.
Cuss like a sailor without getting Lava-soap-mouthwash...
Choose between wine or beer.

as the kitty approached, rusty could feel the sweat running down his arm pits as the smell of fear filled the air
to this day
rusty remains a virgin

Funny how life works, when we are young we want to be older.

Once we get older we want to be younger.

Seems as human we are never happy and always have something or other to complain about!

Rusty may eat a lot of vigitables. But the "vigin" is almost certainly not a virgin...right?

better to have a short unhappy life than a happy long one

Can't do the limbo
Can't do the hula hoop
Lotta rhymes I can think of to continue
Too disgusting to be on the menu

when I was young I could leave my mark on the high branch
now I dribble on my shoes
