Dream TV

Last night a good dream woke me up

I'm a T.V.

Transforming T.V.

I was entertained and smiled

Jumped straight out of my bed

Humming this and that

And got myself a glass of water

And sat down in my favourite chair

And kept smiling but not for long

Because I realised that all my dreams are

Nothing but the repetition

Of last week's television

I was no longer amused by my dream.

I'm on my knees

Down on all four follows

Antennae

Thrust out through my forehead

Like a lame turtle I paced the room

This new found knowledge could only blame myself

And no one else tried to sleep again

Not a dream, not again

But then remembered

That all my dreams are

Nothing but the repetition

Of last week's television

I've turned into a T.V.

My screen is smiling to get your attention

I want you

So I jumped out of my bed

And into the T.V. room

And in my anger

Threw the T.V. set out the window

Regretted instantly

Because this was a brand new 26 inch T.V.

Set in my bed once again,

Couldn't sleep

Because all my life,

All my dreams had gone out the window

With this new T.V. set
