A Poet's Sweet Voice

I’ll admit I was a bit of a problem - rather a

big problem - an enormous problem when I

got bored, Alice sighed, I was determined to

be a great administrator, as per my spiritual

 

Aspirations, but as life died down and gray

boredom enclosed the office, my imagination

found other sufferers who languished about

sighing as they carried out thankless tasks

 

A general lamentation went up from all the

sad buildings - then a poet’s sweet voice

entered the space and we were delighted,

as one we entered the play and offered all

 

The romance we felt in our hearts on hearing

that poet’s call, as temptation was too strong

and I would do anything not to be bored any-

more, I aided and abetted the group writing

 

Love letters and we got carried away - until…

Alice stopped, dreamily, Go on! - her audience

called enraptured - but the memory of those

eternal moments of mental ecstasy was so

 

Beautiful and real, Alice had left already…
