As I find myself tall and now a grown up
Sipping my drink from a now small cup
Looking at memories, I could watch till next afternoon
The wonderful world of cartoons
Be they the western variety or Japan themed anime
They were always a place my mind could go play
A new world that filled me with glee
Where the impossible thrived for all to see
They was so much variety, so much to choose
I would turn on the TV and say bye to my blues
They have ones filled with story or short comedy
Some for watching alone and for the family
They have cartoons for children and some for adults
Some, where they saved the world from evil cults
They would show new ones that got you hooked
And old ones that you might have overlooked
They made me laugh, they made me cry, or filled me with joy
They brought me so much happiness when I was a boy
They taught me what I should and shouldn’t say
They taught me valuable life lessons each day
They made me want to be someone new
Someone others could look up to
Someone funny, someone kind, someone inspiring
Someone ready to do anything
They made me courageous and taught me
The value of friendship, peace and harmony
They made want to try new things
In fact, it was cartoons that got me into story telling
They shaped me into the person that I am now
A man who dreams of making people go ‘wow’
A man who inspires others just so
The way cartoons inspired me long ago
And so, as story teller I write
This poem in the hope someone might
Read this and be inspired to
Introduce cartoons to other too
