When Silly Goes Away
From newborn to around ten.
Acting silly is okay.
Laughing and being goofy
At any time of day.
What happens is grown upness.
Around the age of ten.
Acting silly is just something.
Not happening again.
Years go by and always.
Mature not misbehaving.
Acting silly on hold but why.
For reputation saving?
Now, I don’t care what people think.
It won’t embarrass me.
I’m old enough. Worries are gone.
So, silly I can be.
Yes, at ten it went away.
But something that I learned.
Acting silly is so much fun.
I’m glad that it returned.
