A Sam Scott poem:
2nd October 2023
-----
*POTD* (pub of the day)

Listen to poem:

Away with work I'm going to the pub Not to sink my woes Just get some grub My room is tiny Cats can't swing My keyboard's here But I can't sing I'm four floors up The view is fine This bed is huge I lie supine Perhaps a beer Or glass of wine? Some veggie nosh Would be just fine I'll shake it off And take the stairs Just basic 'T' shirt No grace, or airs I have a book To feed my brain While work provides This gravy train So smarten up In every sense To feed the soul Is common sense Perhaps a poem I'll take and scribe At dull routine I'll make a jibe

This poem made me laugh a little. I love the laid-back style.

Thanks for stopping by Hilda :) There is something about a public house that engenders that 'horizontal vibe' (not just the booze ;))

Hi Sam, I really enjoyed reading your well-written written this evening. Your cat line made me laugh and look at my cat. He’s full of energy, I think he's a bit insane. Thanks for stopping by my page. Have a good evening:-) Alexis

Common sense is so rare these days, it would be a good idea for many to read a book or two to feed the brain. I love that ending, and also how you’ve written this with such profound rhymes , making it a fun read. Every poem of yours have a story, this one is different, making you one versatile poet that conveys thoughts in various ways. The cat stanza made me laugh too! Excellent
