In my comfortable chair

Some idle thoughts...

Sitting back in my comfortable chair

Closing my eyes without a care

I wonder where I will go today

I wonder what will come my way

Perhaps I will awake in a forest

Full of adventure, no time for rest

Maybe I will be on a sandy beach

With the salty sea within reach

*

Sitting back in my comfortable chair

Closing my eyes without a care

I wonder where I will go today

I wonder what will come my way

Perhaps adventure in the great outdoors

Chasing deer and spritely wild boars

Maybe exploring bunkers and caves

Enjoying late night underground raves

*

Sitting back in my comfortable chair

Closing my eyes without a care

What was that noise behind the door

I wonder what awaits, what's in store

Perhaps it's an intruder with a gun

No...it's the pup looking for fun

Along with my wife, after lunch

A sandwich good enough to munch

*

Thanks for reading!
