DAYDREAM REALITY


DAYDREAM REALITY

I  sat
With a
Book
Open
In my
Lap.

The television 
Showed
A
Breaking
News
Segment...

It was
All about
How
A fine
Diamond 
Eyed
Panda
Had
Gone
Missing
From an
Expensive 
Store.

My eyes
Turned
To mushy
Hearts
As I saw
The 
Panda's 
Photo
On the
Screen. .

How cute 
He is!
I exclaimed 
To the 
TV.

Then I 
Had a 
Daydream
In which.
The Diamond
Eyed
Panda
Had
Come
To me
Begging
To be
Taken
In...

I did
It
And hugged
The little
Sweetie,
He wiggled
In my
Arms
Before falling
Into an 
Exhausted
Sleep.

Oh wait,
It wasn't
A dream
As here
He is
Booglie Boo
Dictating 
This poem
To me!
