Poetry Thursday

 

Once again, Angel Sammys and Teddys Pawetaton have provided us with a photo for Poetry Thursday


I want to live where the people are fewer

I want to live like Old Jim Brewer

I want to live high in the sky

I want to give humans a final goodbye


Lord give me isolation

I wanna live in my own nation

In solitude I find salvation


I want to live like Howard Hughes

And not have to talk to none of youze

I want to live like Bardot

And hide in the shadow


I want isolation

And never have to see no one

High up so I can touch the sun


I found my home high up on a rock

Far from the gridlock

No way to go up no way to get down

High above my stupid town


I was happy living high off the hog

When tragedy struck, the toilet did clog

Now I yearn for a ladder

Or at least a way to relieve my bladder


Splendid isolation 

Turns it is pretty dumb

If you try it I am sure you will concur

Isolation is fun and games until you need a plumber

  1. HA! Yes and that poor plumber. Not much grass to cut but trimming the shrubs...I'm not sure!

  3. We love our privacy but that is a wee bit too private! How do they ever get groceries up there?!

  4. We love your poem. That place might be nice to visit for a short time, but we wouldn't want to live there.
