Reality

Reality

A Poem by Donald Meikle

 Sometimes there is a need  for reality

Like the wrinkles and roughness of an old down Mainer

Sure P town and The Vinyard are nice and touristy

But for reality and hang it in the wind

There's no place like CuttyHunk

Hell you'd have to go all the way down to  Isla Morada 

To get reality like that.

Now there's some folk t'drink with!

It's hard to describe the overall feeling of homesick

A bar off the Alawai  near Waikiki, Another in Inverness

But for down to earth look you in the eye people

Well Cutty Hunk and Isla Morada are tops

I'm from Liverpool, old Liverpool.

Reality belongs in that bombed out old town

Pass me that thing d****t

Enough with reality

Here in the US we have an TV show called Cheers. This reminded me of that in a way. Part of the lines are You sometimes need a place where everyone knows your name. Not exact quote. LOL I loved this write. It shows that just every now and then to keep our sanity we must leave reality behind. Great work. Blessings, Lesa

Sometimes there is a need for reality.

Sometimes we wish to be as far away from reality as possible.

It's a wise man who knows the difference.
