I Don't Want to Go Home

I don't want to go home,
says the child, out to play.
I don't want to go home,
whines the child, in dismay.
I don't want to go home;
the world's enchantment shan't betray.
Now I want to go home,
as childhood fades away.


(welp this just popped into my head suddenly and I had to jot it down; I'm still at work and very tired.)
