The Sweetest of Slumberbash

The Sweetest of Slumberbash

 
A swollen river of chocolate right below my feet  
and “la primavera” of Mozart
played by an orchestra of bumble bees
 
a purple hedgehog singing
“She loves you yeh, yeh, yeh”
to a swan who was singing back
“baby don’t you dare”  
 
crocodile sitting by the marshmallow creek
wearing my sun hat, as I turn to look closer
he smiles at me and winks
 
a flying saucer, flown by an alien
waving down at me
naughty granny jumping
off the caramel springboard
into a bright confetti sea
 
a giraffe painting an up-side-down rainbow
for all to admire
there’s a bright blue frog
balancing on a tight rope wire
 
and the town clock that’s sits
upon the oldest living tree
tic-tocking backwards, oh yes
and me?
I’m floating upon the old woman’s shoe
                         drifting
                                                                          deeper and deeper
 
               into this beautiful dream.

From rhyme feet, to bees, and a, probably obligatory, Beatles reference that, will I add, must be sung in the head as the words read off the page, with a signature title makes for beautiful dreaming.

Lovely poem Shirley H.
I would take this dream over the ones I’ve been having. Lol
Guns pointing to my face, and I am begging for my life.
Never was so happy to wake up.
Thank you for the trip.
Keep up the good work.
