Alligator

An alligator tried to get me
In my dreams last night;
It was there loose, right on my lawn,
And trying hard to bite

Perhaps it was a symbol from
My id or superego;
Why-ever it was there, it seemed
Reluctant to let me go

I woke up somewhat panicky,
And got up, minutes later,
There really is no rest when you’re
Near-eaten by a gator

I didn’t know quite what to think
Or really, what to do —
The truth is hard to swallow when
It nearly swallows
You

  1. “Hear and attend and listen; for this befell and be-happened and became and was, O my Best Beloved…
    for “In the High and Far-Off Times the elephant, O Best Beloved, had no trunk.-But there was one elephant-a new Elephant-an Elephant’s Child-who was full of ‘satiable curiosity, and that means he asked ever so many questions…..” R.Kipling

    Perhaps you need to say “Thank You “. Only the Truth is True so continue to pay attention.
