I should stop my day-dreaming
Day dreaming wastes your time and a bit of yourself too.
I intended to grow rich
Richer than James Bond!
I fantasized about all, I was ever fond
My wish list- I prepared was dude hell long
.
I saw a march, people were with a torch
Words loud, shoulders tight, and deep-set eyes
And I was their King, I ruled over their heads
My dream broke when I opened my eyes losing my flying porche
.
I again slept, continued the dream from a lost
This time I met an old wise man, told him about it all
He said, 'You can't see me 'cause I am a delusion'
I'm of no advice but I'll deceive you at any cost
.
I woke up again, This time I'll ask that creep!
I slid through my covers and had another sleep
I searched for that man, I searched too well
I found a rusty letter, that said something deep
.
It said, " I am delusional, I can make you see the star
You'll see all good and wealth with me -long as you go far!"
I thought to myself, " What was he talking about?"
I got it when I read the end that said, "Just a fool you are!"
.
That man was a deceiver and he referred to my dream
He pointed out that I was every day just into that beam
He advised me that I should stop my day-dreaming
Because sun could burn away, all that I'd ever seen
.

Author's note:
I think day-dreaming always causes us to lose that ounce of milk in our jar.
