Scotch and Swing.

In my ideal world,

There's no you, no them,

You see it's my world,

A construct of my imagination.

 

A glass of scotch, a piece of swing

Blaring for all to hear,

Eyes shut, as I'm lounging,

My legs rest on the arm, without a care,

Small gentle sips,

A warm burn, and sensation,

Slowly drifting,

Away,

Away,

Away,

Away into my own mentality,

Imagining my little place of peace,

A slight bite of heaven,

A taste of something, something just for me.

Here, I'm never down-trodden,

But cheerful and amazingly,

Happy.

 

In the world of a simple scotch

And the sound of a piece of swing,

Oh that this world would be,

Something of a reality.

 

Not too much, not too little,

But just right,

That'd bring me such delight,

If only it lasted a little.
