Misplaced confidence for Friend Peter Koala

patrarchan sonnet

 

Misplaced confidence?

 

Although dreams can come true; they seldom do.

We are convinced this rule does not apply

to us. We will be treated differently.

 Such is our egocentric point of view

So we believe the dreams which we pursue

 could well come true. We see no reason why

we should not succeed if we really try.

We fervently believe we deserve to.

 

The old adage” Hope springs eternally

Does not accord with our experience

 but we can disregard this easily”

although it goes against all common sense.

Dreams are not known for logicality.

So in our dreams we still place confidence.
