Where I Go When I Sleep

When I close my eyes I travel to the land where the lion roams and roars the night away. Where monkey’s travel from limb to limb and frequently beat their chests to show the mighty spirit.

 

A place where I ride an elephant across the land and wave

At the hippos covered in mud to cool and protect their skin.

 

Where I can shake my khaki hips to the jungle beat

In my bare feet, a place where I can grunt instead of speak.

A place where pink dolphins frolic and squeak.

 

A place where even I can afford to eat.

That’s where I go when I sleep.

 

 

 

 

Author's Note

I do like to dream about animals when I sleep.

And I liked this dream of yours, especially:

Where I can shake my khaki hips to the jungle beat
In my bare feet, a place where I can grunt instead of speak.
A place where pink dolphins frolic and squeak.

Thank you for the delightful, fresh adventure. :)

This is a really nice dream, rather peaceful sounding. I often see Big Snarling Dogs coming toward me in my dreams! (just kidding!!!)

This sounds like a really good dream, like a place well worth going to. No nightmare's here, it would seem! I like this.
