You told me and told me
But I didn’t understand
So I’m flipping these burgers...
and I’m living the dream, man.
You said pay attention,
To learn what I can.
Now I pump gasoline,
and I’m living the dream, man.
I thought you were crazy,
and knew nothing at all!
because you’re old and un-cool.
I’m not dropping THIS ball!
My life isn’t captured
in the trap of your fear
Your pronouncements and warnings
just fell on deaf ears.
I’m alone, far from home now
Hope you understand.
I’m too prideful to call you,
While I’m living the dream, man.

Perfecto!
I know a number of people this could apply to. I also know almost as many that could say, I told you so!
Cute little poem, ha, ha.
A familiar story, for sure...
=)
You should get someone to record you rapping that. And if you can't rap, I'm sure you can find a youngster who can. :)
That's a good lesson for young people.
I like it. Although I hope that it isn't true for my children, though.
Ain't it the truth? My daughter thought I was stupid and didn't know anything. Everything I said fell on deaf ears ....until she had her first child. Then it was momma what do I do? :)
Good one Jenny!~Ames
I'm sure this little ditty will resonate with a lot of parents. Great one, Mrs. Jenny.

Yep, this is what happens to those who settle...'Livin' their dream!

I used to tell my teenage kids, "Run away from home now, while you still know everything!!"
Just a joke, of course!
