Musings of an Old Man

“What is real and what is not

Is only a question

To be asking if one dreams too little

And too infrequently,”

Bellows the old man.

 

“How, then, do you know

If what is real is truly real

If you dream too much?”

Questions the boy on the lap

Of the old man.

 

The old man’s abdomen shakes

Them both with laughter.

“My dear boy!” He chuckles,

“If your dreams are reality,

You can never dream too much.”

It speaks rightly of Alzheimers and dementia. But also I think the old are so very fond of their memories because they are old. Once you get past a certain age some things one simply cannot do anymore...so what is left but to dream or remember? High marks!

This made me laugh! Hahaha! I very much like "Devonly"! I think Mr. Webster should consider adding it to his dictionary!

[Aly Jones]

Yes, yes he should.
