Grow up little girl Don't be a fool Stop living in a wading pool Look up little girl Don't look away Face the truth and be on your way Give it up little girl Hear what they say Grown ups don't carry on this way Let it go little girl You missed the boat You can't be the prom queen riding on the float Time has won little girl You can't run away The lines on your face get deeper everyday Its gone little girl It wont come again Your fifteen minutes are at its end Grow up .....! tori 99 ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ The only way to have a friend is to be one!

Well, I have yet to claim my fifteen minutes too Tori, don't feel bad. This poem makes me view all the cliches we grow up with and maybe even life itself as myth. Good job. ------------------ Michael Anderson Is all that we see or seem but a dream within a dream? |

I figure it this way...I may have to grow older but I'll grow up kicking and screaming all the way.  ------------------ If you love me like music, I'll be your song. ~Heart~ Dreamboat Annie |

Growing up does not have to be a bad experience. Yesterday, I requested a sign be placed at the entry gate where I live. Suggested it say; Drive slowly, Adults in second childhood are out playing in the streets! And we are!! Very nice poem. |
