MY NIGHTMARE
Folder:
COMEDY.
Oh what a time I had in my head
Must be what I ate before going to bed.
The dream started slowly, quite normal, in fact.
Then I saw, to my horror, my forehead had cracked
My head it flew open, then up from inside
a vine started growing, began to divide.
Leaves started sprouting, they grew to full size.
T'was then I noticed I'd two different eyes.
One eye was bloodshot, the other was clear.
No sign any longer of my lovely hair.
Instead, from the hole up on top of my head
a thing started growing and I heard what it said.
"Meow, I am grateful to get out of there!
Fed up being tickled by roots of your hair."
The thing was all furry and shaped like a cat,
but I was too frightened to feel like a chat.
Then, slowly emerging, the form of a bird
appeared up above it.The thing was absurd.
It opened its mouth and I let out a shriek;
no tweet......but a bubble burst forth from its beak.
Just when I thought I could stand it no more
I awoke with a jump; someone knocked on the door.
I sat up bewildered;the sun it was streaming.
Oh such a relief to know I'd been dreaming!
