I seem to be in a really cynical mood at the moment; I seem to have such a bleak outlook on the world. It can't be good for my mental health, but it certainly inspires my poetry. I really liked the way my nursery rhymes turned out, so I thought I'd try another poem along the same lines. This is my social commentary certain people in the world!
Urban Fairytale
A long, long time ago,
in a land far away
There was a lonely bearded man,
Who stayed up in bed all day.
His house was such a mess,
He was very smelly,
But yet he stayed in, didn't work
He stayed in watching telly.
He said his body hurt,
"I'm so ill," he would often say.
He even walked with a bad limp
That changed foot from day to day.
One day he peeked outside,
He made sure there was no-one there.
He toddled down to the bookies,
To put a bet on "Con-ni-ver."
He thought he was alert.
He thought that he would get away.
But that's when they always get you.
He had clearly picked the wrong day.
A long, long time ago,
In a land not so far away.
There was a lonely bearded man,
Locked up in a small cell all day.
I have been slacking recently, but I've had a bit of writer's block. I've had so many other things going on in my head that the writing just hasn't been coming. I haven't even been dreaming that much! I'm hoping that this post will start me off again.
