Indulge
like popcorn and ice cream,
you make me go
"mmmm".
thou shall not wait
to taste those sweet lips,
ever so near.
like saving the red ones
for last,
and reading the fortune
but not eating the cookie.
for no one in particular,
we all indulge in a dream
every now and then.
sleepy time screams
caused by late night
mountain high tasty ice cream.
ice cream at any hour,
night and day,
is not good
you say?
the fortune's worth more
than the cookie anyhow,
and the man in the white coat
gets aggravated
by the popcorn addict.
dreams for no one in particular,
let them be taken with the wind's changing currents.
for they may turn left,
as quickly as they did right into the mind.
in which case,
two scoops please,
and oh,
extra butter.
dreams be thankful.
