Paper Dreams

I built a paper sail boat to take me out to see; What lies beyond the setting sun in lands across the sea? The boats a smaller replica of the big one that I'll make, To hold all of my fantasies and a dozen chocolate cakes. I chose my hamster, Freddy, as the captain, but I think... He's overly excited or had too much to drink. Either way - he's off, oh, look at Fred, he's having so much fun. "Good bye my friend, I'll see you when we meet the setting sun". But, as I wave my last farewell, my smile turns to a frown, As I watch poor Fred, bailing water, as his mighty ship goes down. So, heed my tale adventures, please heed what I just wrote, Don't sail away on paper dreams 'cause paper dreams don't float. Keep your feet on solid ground and if you choose to sail, Remember Fred, I fear he's dead, 'cause he forgot the pail.
