Woodchuck Band

I fell down a Gopher hole Slid up too a strange new land Popping out the Gopher hole I witnessed a woodchuck band Together they were singing About howling at the moon The wolves just sat their laughing As the woodchucks sang off tune A surrounding like Woodstock Made up of cuddley friends All of them getting along For real and not just pretend A frog passes me a drink Poured from a bottle of wine His name is Jedda Dia He is now a friend of mine We party all through the night Exhausted I fall asleep I wake up in the morning Greeted by a talking sheep "Here is a cup of potion" " drink it and you can go back" "this is not a place for you" " by day the kittens attack" I admit I was confused Yet I did wish to go home So I drank down the potion Then my mouth started to foam As my head began spinning I thought I was going to choke As I looked all around me This strange new land turned to smoke The very next thing I knew I was back in my own land Some of you think I'm crazy I still remember the band Traveling through the forest Just be careful where you walk You may slide down a gopher hole And witness animals who talk Others will say you're crazy Quite bonkers like me Imagination or reality I prefer my insanity

Could be a nice experience, though, if it is just once for a lifetime to tell a grand-daughter like fairy tales? And making sure the potion is available for eternal use...Nice nightmare, Rick! And a great write, with an easy flow! Love, Hanitra
