I Love This Bench

I love this bench It's where I sit To think of words And rhymes of wit Passers by And featherd friends Conjure thoughts That have no end I close my eyes And I could be On city street Or by the sea A salty spray Or buses stench It matters not I love this bench Rockman :-) Written for the Black Eyed Susan "On A Bench" contest.

didn't this get entered into the contest. If it did, I can't believe Susan did not place it. I would have put one like this into my top three!!! It's really good.
