Dogs Dream

An elephant wore pink pyjamas
As he feasted on ripened bananas
He said don't touch the grapes
Nor the big juicy dates
They belong to Peruvian llamas

So I wonder on into my dreams
And nothing is quite what it seems
Theres a blue speckled frog
In a deep purple bog
Where an antelope wears denim jeans

Bemused by an owl with no wings
I watch as he does wierd things
He reads for an hour
Of Owen Glendower
Then Land Of My Fathers he sings

I notice a snake in a tree
He is watching the owl just like me
With unmoving calm
He causes alarm
Heart beating like thunder I flee

I wake with a start in the dark
And hear the song of a lark
My basket is warm
As I see in the dawn
And I give up a good morning bark.
