A Matter of Perception

Go ahead and mess with my mind
Dream me a reality, one of a kind,
Let the world turn me upside down
House on the clouds, sky as my lawn.
You better wise up to make me a fool,
While a flying ship kind of looks cool
Ocean above, waves lashing the moon.
I’ll be fishing for the birds pretty soon.
It’s all about perception, how you look
I’ll have nice bait and a straight hook?
I’ll bring the ship ashore if you let me
Fetch the ocean on earth as it must be.

Very witty & fun, Abdul. I have to admit...a flying ship would be very cool (lol). Well done my friend. Congratulations on your placement. All the best, Charlie
