Martin Luther had a dream,

The world came to adore.

Fleetwood Mac sang about dreams,

A great hit song for sure.

I myself have many dreams,

And I hope to have a few more.

&&&&

But would it kill the maker of the dreams,

To give me something that I enjoy?

Instead of waking up at night haunted by extremes?

I have dreamt about big spiders and about long snakes,

Can’t you change my nightly dreams,

So I don’t wake up in a shock in the middle of the night?

&&&&

I want to fall in love in some of my dreams,

To a lady who is gentle and is a sheer delight.

I want to wake up happy, where all is as it seems,

A dream that will make me smile all through the night,

So, Mr Dream maker, can’t you give me a sweet dream?

Even just for one night?

&&&&

Till next time,

Calvin
