Ilene Bauer Poet Rhyme

My New Neighbor

Paul McCartney bought a home
Just blocks away from mine.
Of course, he faces Central Park
With views, I’m sure, divine.

My whole apartment likely
In his living room would fit.
I’ll let you know as soon as I
Have been inside of it.

For now that we’ll be neighbors,
I’m convinced – don’t you agree?
That I’ll receive an invitation
For a spot of tea.

I’ll tell him of the fan mail 
That I sent him long ago.
I never got his answer
But the mail is so darn slow!

We’ll catch up on how life has been – 
I want to know it all;
I’m sure we’ll have a lovely time
When I hear from Sir Paul.

Trevor Mcleod July 9, 2015 at 7:27 PM Hahaha. Ending with Sir Paul really puts the fantasy in perspective. LOL Very whimsical write. I like.

Andrea Dietrich June 19, 2015 at 5:35 PM that would be quite the delight running into a neighbor like THAT. Is he married again? It would be really cool to know all about him! Love your humor as always.

Terry O'Leary June 19, 2015 at 7:59 AM Very funny... but think of the bright side... some of the molecules that he exhales, may some of thos that you inhale :-)

Connie Marcum Wong June 19, 2015 at 2:28 AM Heck, send him the poem. What have you got to lose. I am sure he would be amused Ilene. It thought this was delightful!

Robert Johnson June 18, 2015 at 8:36 PM Don't go off the deep end and stalk him all day long. Or you can bet ilene will be the next name in a song. :) That sounds pretty awesome. I could see myself sitting around trying to meet him. Write him again telling him you want to collaborate on some lyrics. :) Have a nice day ilene.

Paul Callus June 18, 2015 at 6:27 PM Lovely and entertaining poem, Ilene! I like your wit and creativity:) As a retired teacher I have often been referred to as Sir Paul, but that's where the resemblance ends!! // paul

Jan Allison June 18, 2015 at 6:25 PM Just drop round for a cup of sugar Ilene - it's worth a try lol:-) He finally seems to have found love again - he seems a very down to earth person:-) hugs Jan xx 7

Matthew Anish June 18, 2015 at 6:19 PM This is enjoyable! A friend of mine did meet Paul McCartney and one of my cousins used to work for a music magazine in England and met Mick Jagger, Peter Frampton and many other stars. My nephews both play in rock bands "Sirs and Madams" and "The Mad Doctors" B'Shalom Matthew Anish
