Rewrite: To make a dream For you to make a fantasy, You take a day of pleasant sway, Add a touch of delicacy, A pinch or so of salt to stay. Savor it, in the deep of sleep Garnish it a sauce of power Then add a will, to wile its keep And it will bloom a phantoms hour. You may have summoned Galahad Or for some summoned a Venus Depending on descriptions add. To suit the dream to suit the genus. To make the recipe succeed, You must add essence to the store You must evade the seed of greed. Or dreams will end and close its door. For dreaming holds corrosive might Elusive as the ghosts of night. |

Has your muse run off with mine Stinky? I'll bet Randy knows where they are. ![]() *ww* ![]() |

JM, Yes it has and one of these days I'm going to saddle up Randy and wisk you away. And we will escape to fantasy land. Please pass the raspberry tea. Winkiewinkie Stinky Elizabeth, I am afraid we are addicted to this tea and I can only wish you the happiest of dreams. Love Sy |
