Work Hat Or Flirt Hat - Satire

- - - An observation of true events - - - - - (insatiable person's search) - - Aiming to embellish my identity Rural persona branches further Tight city existence not meant for me Open road invites life changing excursion Ten acre bush block gets me excited Paradise mine for a mere hundred grand Noted as 4WD only access, I experimented Dismayed when my vehicle stalled in sand Canopy thriving centre to various birds Gravel delivered gives access to tranquility Aligned with nature, soul's meaning observed Realisation finds brimming artistic ability Assessing trees on acquired acerage pristine Earmarked half, sadly, for necessary removal Purchased caravan, temporary living regeime Cross shape house plans submitted for approval Whilst planning changes to provide comfort Eagerly distracted from alternate residences Without job, several hundred thousand in debt Two coastal apartments remain untennanted Bought both a few years ago, aged sixty, not hesitating Metropolis convenience was ideal locale for me Antics of alcohol fuelled night owl neighbours indicating Intolerance for romp stomping in my proximity Bush block driveway, carport, water tanks Installed at mate's rates by generous local I politely request an end to his innane banter so I may settle in to my country creative flow Located snake compels call for his help reoccurring Alone afterwards, I beckon my heart's serenity Well versed chakras expand, peace preferring Getaway offers zone for expressive opportunity First fortnight brings bouts of monotonous boredom Browsing sale listing's, a beachside caravan available Ballina beaches tempting, haven't yet explored them Asking price only ten tiny grand, - irresistible! Caravan sold equipped with bedding, fridge, kettle Not the sort, unfortunately, to display my style unique Extensive travel finds sale of furniture and apparel Transported to rented storage shed for following weeks After a month of Ballina council frustrating debate Their insisted decision made concrete apparent The Park, due for development, van sale can't be made Despondent I search, swamped in disappointment Disturbed by nocturnals, in apartments I spring an idea To soundproof ceiling, become insular quarantined from the late hour lunacy unsettling my ears Quoted fifteen grand for each - a price obscene! Returning to diminished bushland block Expertly angled photos will ensure rapid sale Requiring retail therapy, I drive to village shops Acubras only hats stocked, I'm after a flirty beret

Yes, you are right. Everyone has their reasons, and relatively short time to learn what's valuable to them. I read perhaps fifteen of your melodic captivating poems last night. I can definitely ascertain the purity of heart you infuse in all of them. Also, touched by your closeness with your Mother. You have many well deserved contacts over a number of years contribution to PS.

Thank you. It's lovely to have a comment! Maybe I should edit this to be from second person perspective. It depicts true events of my Mother's current situation. Do you dislike the person you read about in verse? That was my intention! Cheers, S. O much love
