Day-Dreamer Poem by Tom Billsborough
Day-Dreamer
We are in Committee, minutes read,
And we alert as hares
Ready for the business now ahead,
Until the usual bore becalms desire.
Sincere intent is quickly led astray
And daydreams reappear, inevitable as tides
In which I gladly wade and lapse,
Considering first an acronym for ass
On which our lady "chair", I must confess,
Is cushioned with abundance.
Though small of stature, seated she grows tall.
I dream now of two peaches
Which I eat upon a sunlit beach in paradise,
Where she must bounce along,
Dressed only in a thong,
Deliciously swaying but only for my eyes.
Now I'm no engineer so cannot figure
Out the pure mechanics of the female walk.
Mesmerizing is the only word that suits!
But anyway, why talk?
It is enough to follow and admire.
Yet I digress, but so do you in dreams.
That acronym for ass..
Association of sausages stranglers? Will that pass?
Naw! Area for serious surveys is better.
But then am I brought back to sudden life.
The double chin that wobbled as he spoke
Is now at rest. Loud sighs erupt to wake me up.
Yet am I lost, a Martian who alights
Upon an unknown planet.
You know the feeling of being somewhere else,
And wondering who the hell these others are.
At last, I whisper to my colleague to my left:
"His mouth is not agape
And yet there is no masking tape. How odd."
She starts to giggle. Oh, I am that cruel sort
Who loves a giggler and with vile intent
Determines to have them giggle more.
She makes me giggle too until a hard look
From the chair dismisses our frivolity.
What cheek, I grumble.
It was her delicious double which led me first astray!
So fun! Yes, it is easy to lead the mind astray at meetings where it often seems people are simply pontificating rather than getting actual work done. I can relate to this writing, though my musings are a bit different from yours. You have such a fun sense of humor!
Yes, there's a wide field of joyful speculations to block out the tedium. Maybe, Pam, you could write us a poem about yours. No doubt it would match your usual brilliant standards. Maybe I was just trying to get to the bottom of the matter on that occasion! I gather from other colleagues that forthcoming holidays was a popular daydream. I think George Clooney scored pretty well in some quarters too!

This is so very interesting.....! ! At a serious business meeting, most of the people travel to worlds of their own while the speaker makes great proclamations and starts discussing grave issues! Some like you whisper a funny comment to the one sitting next.... to create some harmless giggles! Being a teacher, I can so well relate to this!
A Lady friend of my wife and I attended monthly Neighborhood Watch meetings and I'm afraid we were a couple of inveterate gigglers. She tried to make me giggle and vice versa. Some of the committee members were awfully pompous. On the other hand, I was on our County Age concern Committee and I must say that though the meetings were quite long I did pay attention. Maybe it was because we had experts from different disciplines as members. Probably because I was lucky enough to have very good teachers at School, I developed interests in a wide range of topics. Our Greek Master made even Greek irregular verbs vaguely interesting! But of course we all day dream now and again.
