The Dinosaur Dance

A Midsummer's Night Dream

In my dream, I found myself in a land

Where the trees danced and the flowers sang

The birds flew in circles overhead

And the bees hummed a lively tune, instead

I saw a river that flowed uphill

And a snake that wore a top hat and a frill

I watched as a group of dolphins played

On a trampoline, flips and turns they made

But the strangest thing I saw that night

Was a group of dinosaurs, all dressed in white

They twirled and danced with grace and ease

As if it were the most natural thing, with such finesse

I stood there in awe, wondering how

These ancient beasts could move with such aplomb

And as I watched, I felt a tap on my shoulder

It was a dream, I realized, and I woke up older

But the memory of that dream, it lingers still

And the dinosaurs' dance, it lingers too

I'm left to wonder, was it all a dream

Or was it something more, something unseen?
