Kansas

Where would I end up and what would I do
if I clicked up my heels and relaxed?
I'd let Aslan lick me and 
grabbed by the scruff of my neck
I'd fly with Tinkerbell and Alice Cooper 
battily blooming like Asimov's universes flaming the tongues
of the misbegotten and the 
misbecomed winding up in my own bed comforted.
Yep.
That's where I'd end up and that's what I'd do if I relaxed and
clicked up my heels.

I love the descriptions and visualizations! With that imagination you could very well do all that and be in your own bed! Good luck in the contest!!
