Live Your Dreams!

I asked my teacher for advice. 

He said, "Go live your dreams!"

Well, after trying once or twice,

It's harder than it seems!

I tried to start with something easy--

Pizza pillow case!

It made a bunch of greasy cheesy

Splotches on my face. 

So then I tried another dream,

Where I'm a killer droid. 

I shot Dad with my Terror Beam--

He barely got annoyed!

My best dream is the rooftop one--

The breeze is soft and cool.

My dreams make flying so much fun--

Good thing we've got a pool!

I tried my weirdest dream of all--

I'm riding on a poodle,

We hit a cliff, but as we fall

We're rescued by a noodle.

The noodle turns into a shoe

Who knits a rainbow sheep!

(I dream this when I play with glue

Before I fall asleep).

But when I tried to ride on Finn,

He snarled and tried to bite. 

And mom cooked all the noodles in

A casserole tonight. 

At last I tried one in my reach,

An easy dream to dare--

I went to class and gave a speech

In just my underwear!

I thought my teacher would be proud!

I did just what he said!

"I lived my dreams!" I screamed out loud,

But he just shook his head. 

So my advice to you, my friend?

Go live your dreams!  It's cool!

But hide the mail the day they send

A note home from your school.
