My Dream
b'My Dream\\n\\nLast night I had a funny dream,\\nI blew up my balloon,\\nThen held on tight, jumped into space,\\nAnd landed on the moon.\\n\\nThe people there looked very strange,\\nThree eyes and one green nose.\\nThey had six legs and walked like crabs,\\nWith corks instead of toes.\\n\\nThey showed me all around the place,\\nThen gave me things to eat,\\nA nasty drink that looked like ink,\\nAnd funny tasting meat.\\n\\nThey said,"Now come and see our king,\\nHe\'s grand- his nose is red."\\nI said, "No thanks," and shut my eyes,\\nAnd woke up home in bed.\\n\\nJeanette Lingard.'
