Amazing Dreams

The boy had amazing dreams inside of his head

So he decided it best to just stay in bed

There he would dream up his plan each day and each night

While his body lay resting, his mind would take flight

He traveled to places as far as the stars

Where martians were driving in marshmallow cars

He played in the big leagues, flew, kissed an actress

All without ever once leaving his mattress

And the best thing was that whatever he did

Was directed and done by only a kid

So as king he declared, “All work must be play!”

And then as the boss, he gave money away

And though the boy’s dreams were truly amazing

The truth of it all was that he was just lazy

’Cause while he dreamed up adventures and all the best fun

He really just laid there and nothing got done.

This is one of many poems/stories from my book, “but i don’t drink coffee…” which you can find here on Amazon.
