Glastonbury My Guilty Pleasure

Reminiscing and full of nostalgia looking back over the years A life full of joy and laughter though some occasional tears But no real regrets Oh, maybe just one For at this time of year to my mind it doth come So why before I die have I never been to Glastonbury watching from my old armchair wishing it was me wishing I was there For despite the rain the mud the loos euphoria is all I see with babes in arms and sixties hippies this place I really I want to be sitting here full of joie de vivre To see those happy hippy souls festooned bejewelled leaves me beguiled their visage truly says it all they dance and sway the night away a fantasy world of music and colour this place is truly like no other It’s never too late for me to visit Glastonbury ~ my guilty pleasure donning my happy hippy attire strategically placing my stick- on tattoos I turn up the volume ~ I'm ready to go So singing and dancing the whole night through at dawn ~ as I wipe the sleep from my eyes I’m enjoying the luxury of my very own loo… Written on 28th June 2019 – the first day of Glastonbury Festival 3rd PLACE Contest: YOUR CHOICE SEASONS-FESTIVALS VERSE ,any form,any theme Sponsor: Brian Strand

You brought the event to life Ann I love the fact you enjoy it from the comfort of your own home - water on tap and your own loo and no searing heat or mudbaths lol!:-) hugs Jan xx

Glad you enjoyed my poem Jan, and yes I agree with you, as I always want my own loo and certainly don't fancy a mud bath, haha. Kindest thoughts Ann xx

Thanks Tom for your visit and glad you liked my poem! I always watch Glastonbury on my TV and enjoy the fantastic atmosphere, but then reality kicks in, haha... With kindest thoughts Ann - take care in this extreme heat Tom. Tonight I am seeing Tony Bennett at the Royal Albert Hall - I'm so excited!!!
