The Change Will Do You Good

"Get out of bed!" the strange voice said,
"The stars are buzzing brightly.
Put on your clothes, climb down the wall
fly the sparkled grass most frightly.

Don't stop and think don't even blink
leave while your heart is steely
there's a dolphin smiling in the moonlit bay
he will give his time most freely.

He will take you far 'neath a distant star
where the sky and sea is yellow
where the insects croon and the birds all talk
he's a dolphinately stalwart fellow.

And when you reach the pale pink beach
they will wrap you in warm towels
you'll become the queen of that island land
whose name has many vowels.

They'll call you 'Mam' and feed you spam
wrapped upin quare blue leaves
and your maid will sing you poetry
while your silken cloak she weaves.

"Get out of bed!" the strange voice said.
"The change will do you good"
But I was afraid and slept till morn,
had toast and jam... it was good.
