Walter Mitty Poem by Pratheek Praveen Kumar in Calm Reflections

A person imprisoned by his wife,
Who dreams of a more exciting life,
Who dreams of becoming an adventurer,
And going far.

However, he cannot reach his dreams,
As it seems,
That his wife controls him,
And he is quite dim.

He wants to be a pilot,
And go and fight,
The Germans in the War,
And go very far.

He wants to be a great surgeon,
On whom everyone pours acclaim on,
He wants to be a great shot,
Who respects all a lot.

However, his dreams are doomed to be unfulfilled,
As he is with timidity filled,
And so he shall lead his life,
With a dominating wife.
