I Dream That I Dream That It Was Only a Dream

“Row-row-row your boat gently down the stream Merrily-merrily-merrily-merrily life is but a dream” Wake up Dad! Wake up! That nightmare again, huh? I’m starting to take this personally You tryin to get rid of me or something? I just ran over to Jason’s to give his CD back C’mon outside, I’ll show you See? Not a scratch or a scar Don’t you understand? It never happened… (Oh yeah, can you drop my suit by the cleaners? BIG occasion…Once in a lifetime ya know Gotta look sharp and stylish That girl I like might come Yeah I know , I’m kinda dreading it too but He says they can’t start without me)

Amazing! I had to read it a couple of times then the meaning broke through. The last stanza is great...death, the once in a lifetime event. The last impression you make.
