Hideaway

HIDEAWAY

By the Urban Poet

Oh I wish I could hide away

And live every single day

With no interference 

From those close or near us

I wish I could hide away

 

I could do with a break you know

And get covered from head to toe

In them massage oils

And be wrapped in tin foil

To take all me stresses away

 

Oh I wish I lived by the sea

Take in the sun and the breeze

Kick off me shoes and get rid of the blues

And have endless cups of tea!

 

Oh I wish I could stay in a home

Where staff pamper me all the day long

Give me lunch tea and breakfast 

Even buff up me necklace

I wish I could stay in a home

 

So maybe I will hide away

And live every single day

As if it's the last one

And I'll marry the dark one 

And be happy come what may!

From ‘Poetry Gold’ by ‘Rick’ Varden

With weather like we've been having Rick, I'm rather glad I don't live by the sea!
