“Do dream, do dream,”
ear drums resound,
but dreams – are dreams,
they just abound.
A man did dream
and harpooned a Marlin;
then brought with him,
but a monstrous fin.
A dame did dream
marrying a rich prince;
she cracked her pot
and broke her dream.
A man did dream
to find an assassin
but found in him
the greatest sin.
“Do dream, do dream,”
ear drums resound,
but dreams – are dreams,
they just abound.
