Oxford on My Mind

If I had spent today in Oxford,

I would have breakfasted here on Muesli, toast, tea and milk;

I would have sat in the Fellows' Garden

and looked out over the Radcliffe Camera;

I would have read for a while in the Chapel;

I would have walked through the Porter's Lodge and out the gate onto Turl Street;

I would have ambled through the Covered Market;

I would have walked along the tow path and listened to the geese and coots;

I would have sat at Iffley Lock to watch a boat move through;

I would have admired the flowers at the Botanic Garden;

I would have ogled fountain pens at Pens Plus on High Street;

I would have attended a choral Evensong;

I would have lifted a pint with friends;

and I would have been happy.
