A Poem for Thursday.

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.

  2. Thankyou 120 socks...
    and 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.
