I had a Dream


Went into a dream

To spend some time away

From a nosy world

And all it had to say

Met a raging toothache

Been ill upon the pill

Blessed half a dozen coconuts

And rolled them down a hill

He pushed me in a cavity

Danced in the mood of June

Knotted golden buttercups

And sliced off bits of moon

Up jumped a Catterwalk

Took me by surprise

Licked his cherry lips

And wanted me inside

River rose like treacle

Spoke of dreaming dead

We can make your fortune

Just let us have your head

The window of promises

Peered before the glass

I rocked in my dark cavern

An image of the past

My thoughts upon the ocean

A tidal wave of scenes

Nature calling everywhere

Appeared upon the screen

Homeward was my coming

Drawn towards the land

Empty of my dreams

Of nothing that I planned
