The Land of Grimney - The Illustrated Adventures of Cora Pearl, aged 12

Real life got in the way again today
Just when I was ready to pley
My thoughts keep being interrupted
and now my laptop's been corrupted
So now I'm back in the queue
to use the computer, what a to do
It's really quite frustrating
I know Philomena's waiting
to have a drink or two and chat
I might be missing that clever cat
Worse than that what if Morton's arrived
He might be waiting for his bride
and where is she? she's down the shops
buying vegetables and chops
The folk in this world don't understand
They're putting the kybosh on my plans
I don't mind walking the dog in the park
that's really quite an enjoyable lark
'Cos while she runs around and plays
My mind can wander in the haze
and think about the tavern folk
Plan my moves while I take a walk
Until that is, a voice cuts in
'It's cold again' some woman grins
My thoughts once more disintegrate
Real people they do irritate
Can't get away, they're everywhere
Just want to get back to Grimney where
I can escape and have some fun
bathe in the warmth of Grimney suns
Sometimes I wish I'd never heard
of Grimney or the wibble bird
Philomena, Gwennie and co
When I had nowhere else to go
Life was simple, house was clean
sky was blue and grass was green
Even now while I'm writing this
I've been distracted by a kiss
A tall gnome just arrived you see
Granddaughter's come to stay with me
My heart used to soar
When she walked through the door
Now when I see her I hear myself say
Oh no I won't get time to play
Will I get into Grimney tonight?
What's wrong with me This can't be right
Real life is really quite surreal
That's why these days I like to steal
away as often as I can
to spend my time in Grimney land
One day I'm sure I'll disappear
and live my life completely here
Then folks in the real world will say
It was such a crying shame the way
Nobody noticed how she changed
To the point of being quite deranged
She used to be quite normal and sane
Those other-world people will complain
Until that Grimney came along
That's when it started going wrong
But I won't hear a word they say
'Cos I'll be whiling my time away
With all my imaginary friends
Oooops, real world calling, that's the end.

Oh I love it Meadow and as I always say, get a smartphone then who cares about your laptop and you can visit Grimney while you are on the bus.
