A Dream Like No Other

Above the clouds and disappearing skyline I was jetsetting on an international airline That’s when I met a handsome Mr. Einstein No kin to Albert, nose most perfectly aquiline Said he was looking for a concubine The whole thing to be utmost clandestine I accused him of bringing onboard some moonshine Then he just whined and became somewhat of a swine So I moved and sat next to charming Clementine Offered me truffle chocolate I did decline She then casually asked me to invest in her gold mine Slipped me a form I refused to countersign ‘Twas awkward but the damage had been benign I discreetly moved on to an empty seat just fine Where I was greeted by glamorous Calvin Klein Pointed to his window at a view sublimely alpine Not another word was spoken, ‘twas utterly divine I almost commented on the beauty of his ring so opaline But opted to avoid a dialogue with risk to end up asinine The silence was as grand and majestic as any shrine I slept and rested with the help of a bit of wine Got home in time to greet my favourite canine And join in to sing Auld Lang Syne Home Sweet Home, starshine of my lifeline AP: 1st place 2020 Posted on February 18, 2018

I cannot imagine finding all of these two syllable words that rhymed, but you did an amazing job, Line. Good one!

GREAT use of sustained monorhyme, Line! After such experiences on a plane, the sight of a pet would be most welcome, I'm sure! Janice
