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.
