A Wide Awake Snooze Made Me Scream

A wide awake snooze made me scream Held me in the clutches of a well-earned dream. An elephant in pajamas came running up fast. He pushed me aside, and made the sign of a bast. A wide awake snooze held me captive in my head. I thrashed and I crashed,, and I fell out of the bed. My dad yelled, "What's that?" But I could not open my eyes. So I stayed on the floor, curled up with some left over fries. My snooze was determined to keep my eyes solidly shut. I fought her for awhile, but soon gave up in my gut. She was much too strong for me, this wide away snooze. So I envisioned myself a frog, deciding to stay off the booze.
