Poem: Sweet Dreams<br />
Some Thoughts<br />
to Ponder Over ...<br />
Being a born worrier there<br />
are some things in the<br />
world which I ponder over<br />
and to which I’ve yet to find<br />
a solution to. For example:<br />
If nothing sticks to Teflon,<br />
why does it stick to pans?<br />
Why is abbreviation such a<br />
long word?<br />
Seen on hoardings - Bill<br />
Posters will be prosecuted.<br />
Why, what’s he done?<br />
Heard in many a movie -<br />
Fire at Will, why not Peter,<br />
or David?<br />
So ponder away. See if<br />
you can come up with the<br />
answers!<br />
For all the times, minutes,<br />
hours, days and months<br />
I wasted your time for all<br />
the wrong reason that felt<br />
so right I wanted you to be<br />
mine<br />
But this is how we love like<br />
it was or is forever.<br />
One last time, I’ll say<br />
goodnight, but I will never<br />
say Goodbye.<br />
Farewell perhaps.<br />
