Nostalgia/Carpe Diem: A Mixed Anthology
Entries are welcome, of course.
In a villa called "Much Bickering"
In a street called Pleasant Street
Living with her wicked parents
Was a princess, small and neat
She wanted to be an artist
So off to college she went
And as long as she got a Diploma
They considered it money well spent
One day she met a poet
Who taught her all about life
He walked her down to the station
Then went back home to his wife
He came from the end of the rainbow
At least that's what she thought
The kind of love she wanted
The kind that can't be bought
But time and the last train to the suburbs
Killed the love that would never die
And he'll find another love
And she'll sit at home and cry
Now she's reading through his letters
In her small schoolteacher flat
Dusty paint-tubes in the corner
Worn-out "Welcome" on the mat
O the day she met Arthur Rainbow
There were roses all over town
There were angels in all the shopwindows
And kisses not rain coming down
Now it's off to work every morning
And back home for dinner at eight
For the gold at the end of the rainbow
Lies buried beneath her front gate.
