The Imaginary Zoo

Did you ever see a house
So much like a zoo?
A heffalump in the mirror
And a whale in the loo.

A dragon in the bedroom;
Not as scary as it looks.
With its coffee and it's bad breath,
It's iPhone and it's books.

A stranger collection of animals
A person has never seen.
And those are just a taster,
There are others that have been.

For this ole house is open
To those who can plainly see,
That days should start much later;
That mornings shouldn't be.

So if you ever worry
About this or about that.
Whether it be unplucked eyebrows
Or thighs that are getting fat.

Come on over here
We'll warmly welcome you.
To this, our beautifully chaotic,
Imaginary zoo.

The Headphone Thing.

I have this little theory, There's a Thing inside my purse, And when this Thing gets hungry, To my headphones it goes first.

Words have taken me were dreams cannot,. To squalled seas that time has forgot,. Swamps made of potatoes and cheese,. Resident trolls and giants that say please,.

Painting Pictures

As I'm reading these words, Wolves prowl around me in herds. I'm living in a paradise one day, Then I'm at a masked ball, dancing the night away.

Dream Land

Where an elephant can ride. On the winds of a butterfly. And at a frogs table. A tiger sips tea. Where doors are opened. To worlds never seen before. And man can swim. Through the air with ease.

Funday!!

On my #funday I'll climb up some curtains to play with a cat, I'll wave at some turtles, and sing to a gnat. I'll try to teach an old goldfish to walk, a giraffe some opera, a mongoose to talk.

Nirvana

Pulled from this place of dread. Come lay down in bed. Let your body rest. While the mind churns. In imagination. A central wonder station. Thoughts swirl around. Creating a dream town.
