It Was a Dream<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There I was, a sword in my hand<\/p>\n
As I killed the lions and tigers that<\/p>\n
Leapt to devour me<\/p>\n
Crocodiles also, and hyenas, what a bunch!<\/p>\n
I killed them all, swift and total<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
And a docile elephant came to my aid<\/p>\n
As if it knew there was one more battle ahead<\/p>\n
Mighty as it was, it bowed itself and knelt<\/p>\n
So I could hop on its back, a massive back.<\/p>\n
I mounted the beast, and away it went<\/p>\n
Striding through the jungle, I asked not where it was headed<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
From the tree branches above on our path<\/p>\n
Came a giant snake aiming my head!<\/p>\n
As it pulled forward its head to strike at lightning speed<\/p>\n
I met its thrust with the sword in my hand.<\/p>\n
A beheaded snake, it only uncoiled and slumped to the ground<\/p>\n
And I, on my way, comfortably to my abode did proceed<\/p>\n
Riding on an elephant that was not perturbed<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
