*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
