Poem on Walter Mitty

Mr.Walter Mitty attempting to drive along with various other chores,

Gets distracted and imagines fighting in wars. 

His wife brings him back to focus, 

But Mr.Mitty continues to dream instead of his wife’s hocus pocus. 

As he passes the hospital, 

He imagines he saves someone’s life little by little. 

His real life is drab and dreary, 

He would rather have fictional events to keep him cheery. 

When he thinks of what to buy, 

His mind drifts to a courthouse full of outcry. 

His stories don’t have an end, 

He would rather only have the journey to comprehend. 

At the hairdresser awaiting his wife, 

Mr.Mitty imagines sacrificing his life. 

Constantly frustrated he can’t control reality, 

He turns to his fantasies that he can always oversee.   

At last Mr.Mitty gets to the parking lot, 

Welcoming his dreams of getting shot.
