Last night I rode to Tinbuktu
Atop a camel’s hump,
This morning when I rose from bed,
I had me one sore rump.
How can that be? I asked myself,
In dreams one does not feel,
Any fool knows when you sleep,
What happens is not real.
I went into the bathroom,
To take my morning shower,
No time to waste to get to work,
I had not quite an hour,
After bathing, I returned
To the bedroom to get dressed,
But first I had to make the bed,
A chore that I detest.
But there to my amazement,
I did not understand,
On the bed between the sheets,
A pile of Saharan sand.

Might I suggest no more "hot toddy's" before bed?
Enjoyed the write. hugs, Chris

I can't help but think of the other meaning for the word hump.  A strange dream...wishing you a more peaceful night.
