"I Dreamed a Dream"
 
Current Rating: Rating: 4.12 (4.12)
I dreamed a dream in bed last night,
Of places most bizarre.
Of ponds of liquid lemon pie,
And ducks that played guitar.

Of perfect picture puzzle paths,
And grass of jellybeans.
Of crumpet homes and candy gnomes,
Such things I'd never seen.

Of glinting, misty marble stars,
And clouds of thick eclair.
Of crayon boats and biscuit goats,
A weird and strange affair.

I flew past trees of centipedes,
And over fondant hills.
Past eight-leg cats and purple rats,
A world so full of thrills.

I dived beneath a soapy lake,
Through plastic kelp and Bream.
And swam with rainbow octopus,
Past shores of clotted cream.

And down below the treacle waves,
I spied a feathered bee.
But with a start I woke to find,
My pillows eating me!

I loved this poem. It reminded me of all the " Food Dreams " I have had. Not to mention... I just love these kinds of food! Talking and reading about junk-food makes me want to have some, but I gave it upi for lent... so I won't have any. I read this poem because I have read it somewhere else and I just wanted to refresh my memory a little... just to remind me why I love this poem!
