Noggin Ride
In my head...
the moon is obviously luminous green cheese
the man inside looks down and laughs at all us worker bees
chocolate flows in a river made by a man with a funny hat
Superman saves the day with his friend who looks much like a bat
In my head...
astronauts soar through space and time to discoveries unknown
scientists grow dinosaurs from the remnants of a bone
Santa still rides his sleigh on a blistery Christmas Eve
presents are brought to boys and girls that faithfully believe
In my head...
Cowboys ride to towns filled with tumbleweeds and dust
they fight evil men with black hats and justice is a must
the milkman still delivers delicious goods on his daily route
Policemen are still looked up to with hearts fair and stout
In my head...
mermaids sing songs of splendor on beaches in the morn
while turtles frolic in the surf and watery reflections adorn
a stealthy serpent lives beneath the murky depths of Lochness
innocents still see a glimpse of him while fools he puts to the test
In my head...
Angels watch over children and adults alike
they protect us from the darkness lurking in the dead of night
fireflies blink morse-code telling tales of wondrous things
of wise Kings and gallant knights fighting dragons for their queens
In my head...
People still smile and say 'hi' as you pass them in the street
Boy scouts cross old ladies for the good deed they must meet
The flag still waves as a symbol for a Nation eternally born
stars and stripes speak of a country united and untorn
...wouldn't you like to live inside my head?
