Zebras & Hearses

by Elijah - Not entered

Out of the blue,
and into the red.
"You can't go there!!"
The elephant said.

So I looked to the east.
Then ran to the west.
Where I met an owl.
Who said "The Hyena knows best".

So I climbed up a tree,
then I looked to the ground.
For I heard the wind approaching,
though it made not a sound.

I rode on the storm.
To where the horizon met the sky.
Where I swam with an ostrich,
and watch the cows fly.

I crawled across mountains,
on a platypus's back.
I shook hands with an ostrich,
while we stood in a centipedes track.

I sewed pigs ears,
into silky lined purses.
I rode with armadillos,
on zebra drawn hearses.

I was conversing with a scorpion,
who sat perched on a stump.
When I found myself awoken,
from hitting the floor with a thump.

Reason for writing:

    Because dreams are the dreams of dreams.
