I ESCAPED

I heard a cock crow
For the first time in a decade;
I forgot my agonies and sorrows
I drifted away in the Jacuzzi, I escaped

Nothing antagonizing crossed my mind that weekend
Whilst in the pool I dared to swim like a shark for a minute
I knew I would not drown at the deep end
I shouted, yes I can swim; I did it

The shire was serene and soothing
Just what we needed, I escaped debtors and drama
But it was short lived
I escaped

For 72 hours I was jolly and I was as happy as a clam
The air was purified no pollution no congestion
I escaped for a little while
But I knew Life's not all beer and skittles

After the cock crow awoke me,
I went to the morning room and captured all the morning sun
Overlooking the enclosed rear garden and the lake beyond
I was as happy as Larry

But the next morning I had to head home
Home is where the heart is and where the problem lies
Home is quite boring; it remains the same as it was left
But my home is my castle, so I returned after my escape.
