A Dream of the Silvery Sea

I dreamed that I swam in a silvery sea Like mercury from the school lab and around me were gathered uncountable swans Looking both regal and sad Then one floated over and sang to me In a voice that was mellow and clear "I've consulted extensively with all of the swans And you definitely should not be here" I wondered where I was meant to swim If i could not swim with these swans, Till I found myself flat in the back of a car With a pleasingly attractive young man! Soon I found I was pregnant with three sets of twins I was feeling remarkably sanguine. Till my handsome young lover came back to my side Along with a rather large penguin. At 3.33am I woke myself up , I was laughing so much I was shaking. When I fell back to sleep,so quick and so deep, The penguin was still patiently waiting! I am afraid I don't recall much more, My mind was so full of glee; but when I found some ice by my bed the next day I remembered that great Arctic Sea
