Hopes turn to hobbies
Passions to the past
The purities of childhood
Put to rest at last
D is for desk job
And something I won't say
No longer for dragonflies
But for dollars life takes away
Lullabies are for children
Plush toys are for kids
You could get away with collector's items
And thousands of dollars on bids
As a kid it was warm hugs and cookies
Now it's "you need to get laid"
Your off days are often looked over, ignored
Work through it, you need to get paid
Coins in fountains
And dreams of chocolate cake
You barely waste a penny on ramen
If only wishing on stars wasn't fake
Magic is for losers, now
Seeing is believing
You staying up past your bedtime
Is what every kid is dreaming
