A Sam Scott poem:

-----
*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

Your time at the pub must've been divine...you spoke some truth here...taking a book to feed one's brain is important. Folks don't do that too much these days. I'm guessing you penned this at the pub? Anyway, an entertaining write. Thanks for taking us with you to the pub :-)

Sara - thanks :-)) I am not really a pub person but working away means limited food options. I did write *just* before the pub in part to encourage myself to leave my room in the rain. Tonight I might write a poem about a bag of M&M's yet to be consumed (such is my fascinating lifestyle). Bless you x

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
