Naked Dreams
Did you ever have that dream,
Where you're naked and at school?
All your friends bust out laughing,
And you feel just like a fool.
You keep running through the halls,
Searching for clothes to wear.
And every door you open,
Everyone is standing there.
They all just keep on pointing,
As the teacher shouts your name.
Your body's drenched in sweat,
And your face is red as flame.
You'd pay a million dollars,
For a simple little towel.
But you trip on someones desk,
And they all begin to howl.
Your ears are ringing harder,
And the chills run down your back.
You can feel your bottom burn,
As they're staring at your crack.
You hide behind the blackboard,
Thinking that will do the trick.
But they pull the whole thing down,
Just to make their spitballs stick.
You run and duck for cover,
Looking for any angles.
But that never hides the shame,
When your pride dingle dangles.
Another bitter nightmare,
Where all your friends are scheming.
You hope that it gets better,
Then find out you're not dreaming.
