Notwithstanding the glamour of living in a castle
when viewed from afar, the plumbing fails and the
maids can’t clean the centuries of cigar smoke from
the great room walls.
Notwithstanding the grandeur of the master suite,
the heating is not adequate, the draft gives me
the chills and the fur blanket sheds onto my silk pajamas.
Notwithstanding the bargain, the incredible sale,
I find it to be a bit lonely out here by the sea while
my girlfriends bundle off to Herrod’s for shopping
and tea, all the while wondering about me and
my impossible dream.
