Maheen Wahid - Dreams

Sometimes I wonder
What is a dream
A packet of crisps
Or a bowl of cream

What, why, who and how?
Oh Man! What'll happen now
Stil I ask... what a dream is
Boy! Is this a pop quiz?

Shakspeare would say its an abstract noun
Cleopatra would say its a fancy white gown
The circus would say its a jolly clown
But what's the truth? That makes me frown

Whatever it is I dont care
No way! I aint gonna burn like a flare
Like all other fellows in history
Lets leave it like that as a mystery
