The Dream He Never had
He always dreams big on just about everything
He has been doing this since he was a child
And sometimes his imagination runs wild.
He likes to pull things apart and appear in the dark
and when you miss him, you will find him in
the garage repairing some old car engine.
He rips things apart and put it back together in seconds
he is like a genius originated from the heavens
he builds a haven in the sun and invites the crowd
to have fun.
He creates mystical games
and challenged you to solve the riddles
and when the merchant comes into the town
he amuses them with a harp and a crown
The people adore him, because he is good at
painting and just about everything
and most of all he can sing
I have been watching him through my Binoculars
and I saw him cleaning the big boat
it’s as if he was going on a trip around the world,
because his boat was loaded with beautiful girls.
He was getting ready for a shoot
and just before the evening news
the production crew come rushing in
and the girls on the boat began to sing
Several things were happening on the boat
And the dream that he never had was about
to change his life forever and bring the universe together
His face was as hard as ice and it began
to melt when the camera man points the
camera on him and he starts polishing
the bar counters on the boat
He knows what he was doing
but suddenly a giant wave come crashing in
hoisting the boat a little off the ground
and everyone began to scream and shout
but he kept his calm and continue to polish his boat.
He polishes it over and over again
rubbing and smoothing down the edges
you could see your face moving in it
and the Italian wood with its balmy smell
made the counter in the boat look like
paradise in hell and the sails at the sides
kept moving in the direction of the wind.
The director walked over to him
and for a short while he wondered
what was going on, the director
Stares at him and then he began to smile
You are a part of something that
is bigger than you and I want to break
this exciting news to you
This is the final scene
and you have been nominated
more than hundred times for the
boat scene it is filled with luster and grace
and your natural performance is like
music sounding all over the place
And you will play this role
for the rest of your life
This is the best motion picture
that we have never made and you are
at the center of the stage
Tears rolls out of his eyes
and the universe was walking by his side
He wasn’t sure whether to laugh or cry
But he did a little of both for the dream he never
Suddenly materialize and everyone celebrates with
Him.
