A Dream - Song for Drella

A DREAM

It was a very cold clear fall night
I had a terrible dream
Billy Name and Brigid were playing
under my staircase on the second floor
about two o'clock in the morning.

I woke up
because Amos and Archie
had started barking
That made me very angry
because I wasn't feeling well
and I told them
I was very cross the real me
that they just better remember
what happened to Sam the bad cat
that was left at home
and got sick
and went to pussy heaven

It was a very cold clear fall night
Some snowflakes were falling
Gee, it was so beautiful
and so I went to get my camera
to take some pictures
And then I was taking the pictures
but the exposure thing wasn't right
and I was going to call Fred or Gerry
to find out how to get it set
but, oh, it was too late
and then I remembered they were still
probably at dinner
