Goodnight!

Some thoughts keep us from sleeping at night,

Unforgettable memories, a bunch of good times.

Before closing our eyes, we’re already dreaming,

Of beautiful castles, roses and prince charming.

Have we become delusional or forgot to grow up?

MASH is gone, now phone bills, food we count up.

It was always house, doctor, cops we’d be playing,

Now it’s real, “wanna go back” is what we’re crying.

We didn’t have to fit in or have the perfect body,

The best love was a night kiss and hug from mommy.

We dreamt of growing, now we dream of returning,

Dude, we just got dumber as our brains kept growing.

Thought poop was disgusting? Now there’s politics,

In your jobs, family, government, it stinks and reeks!

This was your dream, welcome to your future,

Now go to sleep, where the dreams are much better.
