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.
