Just Another Nightmare

Sam Adams one night
Went to bed after drinking 
a bit too much rum
He found himself in a dark forest 

He looked up and found 
He was not alone
There were creatures 

Looking at him
With evil in their eyes
They began chasing Sam 
Down the dark forest path

Aliens, banshees, centraurs,demons, devils, 
Leprechauns, Lions, Monsters, orcs, robots, tigers
Werewolves, Witches, warlocks, wolves, and zombies
Joined in chasing Sam

Screaming 
“Death to the human”.
He jumped over a fence
Found himself stuck
In Limbo
The howling mob
Just outside the door

Next, the board clerk announced
Sam Adams walked up
Took his number

Woke up naked 
In bed with a strange woman
Who turned out to be quite dead.

Sam got up
Drank coffee
And left to go to work

Just another nightmare
After drinking too much 
Demon rum.
