Enjoy Your Silly Days

There are whole cities of men and women who, for reasons unknown
Never were sixteen to eighteen. those precious simple days are soon gone.
To be able to relax and giggle can do more than a doctor's couch (Yes!)
To restore the marvel of youthful days and restore y0our youthful spirit, yes.

Maybe that's why grandparents revert to their childhood
To view the world from that level. It is forever understood
By all involved that we are given a belated chance
With great-grandchildren at a later time in life and one last chance.

Your definition of silly may differ from mine. I speak of silly
As a detachment from the low-down reality
Of daily drudgery and pain where a whoopee and devil-may-care laughter
Can pick you up and set you down in the land of laughter ever after.
