“Catch A Dream”
I decided to come today.
I just may come again tomorrow.
I am here, come what may.
I am sure I won’t find any sorrow.
This is called “Catch A Dream.”
Where it can all come true.
Ever heard of such a thing? Me neither.—- I’m with you.
Step right in & have a seat.

Your dreams are your own, mate.
I dream of the perfect love.

How can such a thing be true?
We deal in the impossible here.
Our limits is your imagination.
Step right in. There’s nothing to fear.
Lie down while we fire up our station.
Put this helmet on your head.
We will know what you are dreaming.
Take a nap while lying on the bed.
Your dreams, we will be screening.
When that special dream appears,
that’s when we go to work.
We will make her reappear.
She will be here. It’s no quirk.
When you awaken you will see.
She will be here waiting for you.
You’ll wonder how this can possibly be.
It is real. How? We can’t tell you.
We are called “Catch A Dream” for a reason.
When here all your dreams come true.
We are here in any season.
Anytime you need someone ‘special’ for you.
About then, my alarm clock went off.
This made me quite unhappy.
But, tonight, we will see, before I scoff.
Maybe I’ll “Catch A Dream” & be happy.—–R. W. Johnson—–(2014)
