Peanut Butter and Jelly

Woke up this am and climbed out of bed.
Slept with my shoes on and a song in my head.
The beat grew stronger as the lyrics spread,
like peanut butter and jelly on a slice of bread..
A word of advise before you hit the bed.
Be prepared for your dream life and what's ahead for
 one never knows where dreams may tread.

Hi Bill, I hope that power grid holds out down your way. I have an artist niece in Austin and love it there, just too hot for a visit now. I appreciate your stopping by and also commenting.

A beautifully imaginative work, Nancy. Your creation exudes a delightful whimsy while subtly exploring the profound realm of dreams and their interpretations. This piece is an absolute delight, teeming with playful energy and yet managing to convey a wealth of meaning within its concise two stanzas. Truly a pleasure to experience!

When I drive to see my ex which is only about 35 minutes from here some of these little tidbits end up in my head also. LOL I think the quicker my writes unfortunately turn out funnier and better.
