Replying to a comment on:
Luke Hanney's 43rd Dream (Lyric) by lukehanney
I was running along the road just now
Down a ruined alley of trees,
When a bearded midget jumped on me
And brought me to my knees.
I asked what he thought he was doing
He said he didn't know,
Then he gave a smile and half a wink
And jumped into a hole.
So I carried on along my way
Feeling slightly shook,
When out of nowhere came along
A vicious-looking rook.
He eyed me up and liked his beak
Got out his fork and knife,
I ran and ran, he flew and flew
Then went off to meet his wife.
10 minutes passed and in front of me
Appeared a fiery tree,
It cried in pain and said my name
Then asked me round for tea.
Taken aback I bit my lip
And forced a weary smile,
The tree he wept, fell back a step
Then chased right after me.
Running away from that damn old tree
I tripped and fell right in the sea,
Cracked my head on a fishing boat
But found I still could breathe.
Under the sea I saw no fish,
No lobsters, crabs, just terrorists
Fighting over hosepipe bans
And water scarcity.
Atlantis they said's been gone since Fall
"Its been knocked down now its a shopping mall,"
No-one really cared for it,
Too many tourists.
It sells a wide array of goods;
Camel cheese and see-through books,
Monkey tails and wind-proof sails
Everything you'll need.
These sub-mariners I thought quite weird
So I got out of there and disappeared,
Found myself sat backstage
Of a TV studio.
The lights lit up, the camera rolled,
My heart began to pound
I heard Richard say to Judy,
"You're not fat my dear, just round."
