David Walker Poet Rhyme

Listen to poem:

The Unknown Dreamer

The Unknown Dreamer 
David J Walker

I saw myself in a rerun of 
the Johnny Carson show
from 1974
	       with five more
guests before 	
	        I would blow
through the curtains and take a bow

Oh 
I remember how 
he announced 
my name clearly and then went
Into his daily blog 
monolog 
comedy routine 

But wouldn’t you know 
		he ran out of time 
before it was mine 
to meet 
the sweet 
sound of applause from an  
adoring audience  

He clearly said they would 
			Have me back
Some other time

Wouldn’t you know
The almost of the unknown dreamer
			Strikes again
