Fat Chance.
When I was young
and cash was rare,
I couldn't get the key to fit.
My dreams were big
but full of air.
Fat chance of ever making it.
And Simon Barnes
has made it clear,
Why I could never reach my goal.
I should be there
but ended here.
Like Alice down the rabbit hole.
One for the Poetry Bus.
Great title and great poem!
ReplyDeleteThankyou 120 socks...
ReplyDeleteand thankyou Kat.
Well Simon Barnes, or as we sometimes say St. Simon ...is a sports journalist on the Times. But much more than that he also writes about wildlife, and a bit of philosophy from time to time.
He has a wonderful way with words.
Great poem!
