Shannachie’s frustration contribution faithfully doggerelled

There is no use in spilling tears
About our frustrations
Life does not – and that’s very clear -
Live up to expectations.

And to be blesséd with a brain
Of broad anticipation
Will often mean that we get slain
By our imagination.

I do, I did and look behind
And sometimes there I see
Between reality and mind
The ‘mind-the-gap’ sign stare at me

I know I’m not alone in this
I keep good company
And then I realise with bliss
I would not different be.
