Unrealistic Expectations-POEM

We often have Unrealistic Expectations of life. We want it fast, now and throw it away if it doesn't work.
Here is a poem showing how silly it all is.

UNREALISTIC EXPECTATIONS

By Patti Miner

eat anything you want

but stay as thin as can be

always travel and stay busy

but be ever neighborly

follow all the trends

but don't fall for every fad

make lots of extra money

but be a perfect dad

when you're sick you take a pill
but side effects then make you ill
so another pill you then take
this continues til you break

a house that's warm in winter

and cooler when it's hot

compact cars with lots of leg room

from the best line at the top

news in the morning

and better news at night

seems our expectations

are completely out of sight

if you find an answer

i hope that you'll tell me

extensive words of wisdom

but of course, i hope it's free
