Sense Sonnet - Tickler

 Fulfilling Unfulfilling

When I was young, knew I'd not be

Making much effort because I

Was lazy, no child prodigy,

And not even willing to try.

When family and friends would ask

When my potential I'd strive for,

I'd just shrug off such disliked task,

And calling it a growing chore.

But it seemed the more I grew up,

I got lazier, year by year.

My potential, unfulfilled, yup,

So quite content what I did hear.

When I turned 30 I was told,

Take it easy because I'm old.
