2.4 kids/volvo/dog/wife...Angstry

I wonder often lately 
What happens in your life 
If your settled, bored even 
With 2.4 kids/volvo/dog/wife 

And then I torment myself 
Wondering if you too 
Spend agonising moments 
Pondering my happiness too 

And I really rather prefer 
To think of you with strife 
Not settled and engratiated 
With 2.4 kids/volvo/dog/wife 

But, with ifs and ands aside 
The mix should really be 
More in my deluded favour 
Deserted island/you/me

    This is really interesting to read. Loved the last stanza. About writing of real life, I probably do it half and half. I get many ideas from challenges, and the challenges lead me to imagination, stories, etc. I often use etheree for "real life" becuase it's one of the few ways I can write free about myself. I think there are so many styles of poets. I often wish I were back in the age of romantacism. I feel out of place in today's market. YOu are lucky you write the popular style! LUv, andrea

    If your protagonist got a cat. he may feel better. Or another kid, or three.. In all seriousness now, this seems to be a modern problem. glad you commented upon it
