Crazy Dream
Listen to Julie read her poem ...
I dreamt I rode an eagle
but woke up on a horse,
a huge stately stallion,
who ran the fastest course.
He took me to a marsh
where I met an ugly frog,
who taught me how to burp,
whilst balancing on a log.
It all came to an end
when I fell and bumped my head,
but a friendly lion came running,
carried me straight back home to bed.
Don’t ever think
that dreams can’t come true,
because sitting here in front of me,
is my lion, staring straight at you!
but woke up on a horse,
a huge stately stallion,
who ran the fastest course.
He took me to a marsh
where I met an ugly frog,
who taught me how to burp,
whilst balancing on a log.
It all came to an end
when I fell and bumped my head,
but a friendly lion came running,
carried me straight back home to bed.
Don’t ever think
that dreams can’t come true,
because sitting here in front of me,
is my lion, staring straight at you!
