A Song To The Dreamer
I pray that sometime soon your dream would fruit Like in one of those good old sweet fairytales Where I come, a knight in shining armour, Sweep you with burning desire off your feet To a royal life of pomp and desecrated opulence. But why is it you cannot dream plausible dreams? I am, I think, likelier to come in a T-shirt and jeans. Dinner may not be more than baked beans and eggs But for you, I will lay out all substances of my life, For whenever I see tomorrow, it is you and me Walking, one wrinkling arm in one wrinkling arm Two wide toothless smiles outshining the sun By a fine little cottage littered with grandchildren Afire with their endless questions and endless chatter.
