Sleepyhead

There is nothing like waking from a sleep
Slowly remembering parts of a dream
They are all yours and yours to keep
Woken up by a morning sunbeam

If your lucky a sleep will befall you
Dreaming that dream into oblivion
Walk on the wild side, stay cool
Why not make love on that bearskin

Continuation dreams are the best
You can to kill the beast and get the girl
There's really nothing to confess
You know it's all a different world

Wake to remember her subtle scent
Recollecting a fading interlude
Wondering where the morning went
Then realizing you slept till noon

Love those pleasant "continuation dreams." Have you ever noticed that sometimes later in the day a memory of a dream will come to you? Great entry for the contest, Mitch. Love, Carolyn
