Little Criminals

My daydreams are like clumsy little thieves
poking about for something of value.

Have at it you rascals!

I have some time, and no reason
to put locks on the door.

Little Criminals

Hello, Michael,
Too rich! :) My daydreams wear rose-colored glasses and pretend the world is full of rainbows and unicorns. I feel just the opposite - reality is thieving me of my daydreams.
Very nice!
