A Better Tomorrow

he dreamt of death sharks and apocalypse

Poseidon on edge of waters and hence 

slept badly because of the fish and chips

exhausted he drowned without any sense


a jubilant sea horse married a prawn

Freud cheered the cohabitation in joy

while salty solution mixed with the spawn

directed and waved at subconscious ploy


kill your father and mount your own Mama

Oedipus knows best don’t waste repression

Sex is your friend so look out for drama

I offer my couch for a quick session


for in love and compassion lies no shame

to dolphins' applause together they came
