I always wanted
To be a sage,
Have ears attentive
When I speak,
Have listeners sit-up
In their seats.
Sadly, this only
Comes with age.
I always wanted
To be a looker,
Have heads turn
When I walk by,
Hear my name
In whispered sighs.
Sadly, this only
Comes from hookers.
I always wanted
To be a lover,
Have women oogle
Like all others;
Call out my name
When they scream.
Sadly, it happens
In my dreams.
I always wanted
To be rich,
Have everything at
My fingertips.
This is one
I got done,
My wealth I found
In my children.
Humorous, entertaining and a great ending. Thanks for sharing.
