An Adventure Of The Mind

When I was a kid
there was a book
in the house
called "Adventures Of The Mind"
so I thought
that was exactly
what I wanted
for a life
but I didn't realize
that adventures
were so painful
and difficult
so after many years
of struggle
and torture
I wound up broken
but I was lucky
because part of my adventure
was the right
kind of trip
so I ended up here
living the leisure life
on a tropical island
in Michigan.
