Our Flirtation with Surrealism

Our classes flirtation with surrealism was about to commence.

With a welcome visit to the wine bar.

It wasn't my forte, to me it never made any sense.

After a few too many glasses, a place to rest was needed.

So, I sat on the horse's rump, where I contemplated my fate.

It felt like I had the weight of the world on my shoulders.

I had a pain in my head, that was like a knotted ribbon.

Crushing angina gripped my heart, as it worked its way to my hoofs.

No doubt caused by my skull, hitting the archway as I ducked.

For a moment or two, it went dark.

But I'm a chip off the old block and saw straight through it.

I thought it was the horse's mane.

Only to discover it was a branch line.

But just like the London Underground.

It was woven, from centuries of twists, turns, and dead ends.

It took an inordinate amount of time to find a way out.

The whole thing was a surreal maze, it was pointless trying to gallop.

We settled for a canter, we ended back at a wine bar.

But I was led on the floor, trying to balance a wine glass on my nose.

As my classmates yelled Red, Amber, Green, let it go.

Footnote:

This poem is a surreal as the picture, but it is fascinating where your imagination can take you, it took me a matter of minutes to write this nonsense.
