Dream Diary 1
he slipped into a dreamland
as the grass was turning brown
the king was in his castle
on the town he looked down
three men rode six horses
half of them for sale
and the undertaker hammers
down his last nail
the sun started sinking
turning day into night
the first mate looks t shore
trying to find a guiding light
the homes getting empty
as the town took to the street
the king is getting nervous
and shaky on his feet
all the mothers shouting
drown him in the well
the witch is in her cave
chanting out a spell
the moon is high in the sky
filled the streets so bright
she first mate set sail
through the waves they fight
the poet dips his pen
as he sees the passing crowd
shouting death to the king
and death to the crown
the horsemen riding up the hill
to attack the castle gate
crashing on the rocks
the ship and its first mate
the moon turns red
and fades from sight
he finaly finds the sand
to the first mates delight
as the fires burn red
and lit up the sky
the poet sees the first ate
and lets out a sigh
walking on that road sailor
you wont ever come back
what is that you have
is that a ship mast on your back
the moon is howling
and the wind shining rite
the poet takes his pen
and he begins to write
the king calls to his army
as they run for the door
the hall did echo
with the royal roar
the angry crown ready
they weld their sharp sticks
the cavalry is charging
with the number of six
the sun started rising
up to meet the moon
the castle has been taken
with the king in his room
stand up from that chair
you dirty Royal rat
you are late for your work
you got five minuets flat
he said i know a sailor
i think his ship came in
your sailor is at the door
and he brought you ship with him
the sun is breathing hot
and its just before noon
the town heads to the castle
they are moving in soon
so the poet draws a line
and ties up his book
before he stepped through the door
he had a good look
the spell chanted by the witch
are heard every where
the dogs running from the hills
with their noses in the air
the wind is gaining power
whistling its tune
as the witch fights through it
flying on her broom
so the grass starts turning
from brown back to green
he lifts up his head
to remember what he seen
he unties his book
and ink dips his pen
so as it was
he got inspired then
the queen takes a new man
a fresh hansom groom
long live the king
or will his death come soon
