Poem Title:
Poem
Paradise In A Dream There is so much weighing me down The daily toils of doing what others want Screaming kids fighting all day long Another four hours of Dora The Explorer Trying to cook dinner with nothing in the cupboards Every member of the family wanting something different Hot dogs for the youngest Mac and cheese for the little girl who won’t eat anything Cheese steak sandwiches for the adults There is a fashion show on the TV for my wife The basketball playoffs can wait for another day I haven’t seen a Celtics game in more than ten years A fuse blows in the middle on the evening Those basement stairs were not meant for a man my size Finally the time has come for a peaceful sleep Until my daughter finds a monster under her bad Screaming and crying while I scare the monster away I close my eyes as the moon rises The witching hour when the dead rises My dreams take me away to a paradise The tropical sun tans my half naked body Naked women chase each other on empty beaches No kids, no wife and no fashion shows Too bad morning and another day has to come Too bad that I love my wife and kids Otherwise I just might stay asleep
