The New Year Horrifying Reality Dream

Full Moon Challenge

Authored Works By Lithuanian/American Marc O'Brien

Such an eve

A New Year’s dream not to believe

First there was this frog with a horn

Combatting the wolverine scared and torn

Making every royal knight

Aware of the sight

Happening inside the fiesta fight

Texas prince found the golden ticket, championship crown

Before partying in the Glendale town

But while the purple and white celebrate

Number one Georgia bulldog thought they were great

Until getting bucked in the eye

Clock running, UGA X prepared to die

But alas the midnight witch unleashed a spell

Sent Brutus straight to tell

Giving excuses on why

UGA X did not die

My head spun and spin

About these two who registered the win

Fell asleep

Allowing an invading horror to creep

Showing a hawk from the sea

Who was stalking me

While I rode in a corporate jet

Engines roaring thinking my playoff spot was set

Then the flight plan turned for the worse

Misguided and off course

Crashing on a long island

Writing a movie script worth buying

While tending to broken bones

All alone

I saw a monster with an angry tone

It was a kraken

Who wanted me to do some packing

Or it would end up attacking

I sweated in fear

How could this be a ‘happy new year’

When the horizon displayed the sun

I awoke and thought I am not done

Until reality stated White Lillies had a fall

When Aston Villa made the right call

And Chelsea tied to the tricky tree

Leveling the blues for everyone to see

Hoping these uncomfortable images would end

Happiness soon on the mend

But the afternoon delight

Continued the fright

When the men in green

Showed up placid and not too mean

Followed by the kraken on ice

Trapping the islander mice

With fireworks cheese

And the monster did as it pleased

Now the moon is back out

I need to shout

Tomorrow is also another New Year’s Day

And all I have to say

Act like none of this information matters

When planning to climb the 2023 professional ladder

To your true dream

Where there is no scream

For a team

That lets you down again

With mistakes that one cannot comprehend
