Did you ever wish you could trade bodies
For bigger body parts or for smaller ones
Nobody wants ours the old wrinkled ones
Or other blemished or disabled ones
So we should be happy with what we've got
"It's the only place we have to live in"**
But just think of the pleasure we could have
Like driving of a new car--love that smell
So that's what we have, thinking and wishing
"It's the only place we have to live in"
**Note: words of Jim Rohn who "was an American entrepreneur, author, and motivational speaker . . . "

Oh, I enjoyed this flight of fancy / wishful thinking.
ReplyDeleteI would really love a new digestive system, and a new right shoulder, and a new left hip, and...
ReplyDeleteNice one Jim. Yes its the only body we have and even the healthy ones are never satisfied
ReplyDeleteGood Wednesday
Much❤love
I love this take on the prompt, said with a hint of regret I'm guessing. "Due to biological difficulties, we can't book accommodation elsewhere"
ReplyDeleteGood write, Jim. Yes, we're stuck with the shape we're in!
ReplyDeleteI have two titanium hips … don’t need anything else! Cheers Jim!
ReplyDeleteLike driving of a new car
ReplyDelete--love that smell
A thing of the past Dr Jim, but a real satisfaction! When it happened before it was cause of celebration but very infrequently though!

Nothing wrong with flights of fancy.
