Dream

Once I dreamt such a funny thing
The funniest anyone could think of
So amusing that it was startling
And I couldn't think of it enough
I was soaring in the blue sky
Using two wings that I grew
Above the clouds but not too high
Searching for what I never knew
On the way in the sky, I met
Butterflies who babbled no end
And funnily I got what they said
And then full of glee, I replied
They wanted to know a peculiar thing
How to suck nectar without spilling
I told them I do not know such a thing
And they moaned which was annoying
I wished they would stop quickly
And what a funny wish to make
For butterflies don’t moan loudly
And then I was wide awake
