Hello All! We have made it to day 30, and the end of Poetry Month. The prompt for today is to create a poem in the form of a series of directions. Now, if you know me, directions are not my best category (see the poem on April 2, 2021 for details: http://www.luckycatcomics.com/?p=1649). But I gave it a go.
Thank you for spending the month with me, and for all your kind reading.
The Windsong Car Park
My Dearest Best Beloved
Thank you for the loan of your motorcar.
As the space in front of your flat was filled
I have parked it in Zanzibar.
Only joking, but it is a bit of a trek,
And these directions are slightly bizarre.
Exit your flat by the lovely front terrace
Turn right walking past the ballpark.
Turn left at the third Cock and Bull pub,
My favorite watering hole landmark.
Five blocks east, past the West Liquor Store.
Voila! You’re at the Windsong car park.
Go to the Red Ramp, on Floor number 6.
In the lift there are signs to help you.
Push the button for Floor number 7.
But beware, what is most certainly true,
By pressing the button for Floor number 6,
It will land you in the ramp that is blue.
I was adrift in the Windsong, late last night,
The most confusing structure by far.
If you find yourself in the blue ramp, Beloved,
Wandering aimlessly, no sign of the car,
Be of good cheer, because on Floor 10
There is a delightful little cash bar.
The bartender’s name is John St Clive,
Just use my name and he will assist.
He might try to tell you how I spent last night,
But please, give that tale the short shrift.
Ask him to guide you through the ramp
And install you in the proper lift.
So sorry to have to leave this note
On your doorstep while you are away.
Your kind generosity, beyond compare,
In the future, I’ll endeavor to repay.
If it’s not too much to ask, Best Beloved,
May I borrow the car this Sunday?
