Here's a story poem that needs a book
It was something I started ten years ago
and finally finished it. It may need rearranging,
does need editing, maybe simpler words, but
if someone thinks it's worth a try, I want
nothing. just thought it is worth a try.
never wake a dreamer
A very long-long, long-long time ago,
in the mystic land called Caravan-
near a little village called Calico,
there lived a very happy little man-
He went by the name of Mister Green,
and he liked to speak in rhyme-
being a man who believed in dreams,
he would dream them all the time-
Mister Green dreamed of wonderful things,
and he loved everything about them-
his favorite ones were of flyimg machines,
which he dreamed over and over again-
Mister Green learned things from his dreams,
just as surely as any dreamer could-
so he began to build his dreamed machines,
though it seemed they wouldn't fly so good-
Now, Mister Green lived on Far-away Hill,
which overlooked the near-by town-
and he shared his home with Billywill,
a strayed yellow cat who's tail curled round-
His house was old and in need of repair,
but Mister Green didn't seem to mind-
he was happy just to breath the air,
and to sit in the sun where it shined-
He was quite content with the simple life,
and he managed pretty well on his own-
though some nights he dreamed of a pretty wife,
but he had no real reason to gripe or moan-
Yes, Mister Green saw everything as just fine,
there was alwaws a reason to wear a smile-
he knew that good things always come in time,
and waiting for them was his kind of style-
Besides, Billywill was always with him there,
they walked everywhere together all the day-
the two of them made a quite natural pair,
they loved to jump and run as a game to play-
Now, Billywill was not just an average cat,
you see, he had a little giggle when he walked-
but also, and even more amazing than that,
was a funny little wiggle he had when he talked-
Surprised, at first, when seen by Mister Green,
he had never before heard a cat say a word-
and when he walked and talked, oh, what a scene,
just a talking wiggly blur of giggly yellow fur-
Now, Billywill, with his silly grin and gaze,
was born and then raised in a fanciful jungle-
there is where he learnd the talking cat ways,
things of truth, of happiness, and how to be humble-
But as a wondering cat, he had ideas to be sought,
so with his curiosity and faith he decided to roam-
he traveled far and wide, contending with thought,
until he came upon Katie, a fine maid, in a fine home-
Lady Katie was a very wise and a knowing young miss,
having being visited by many seekers in these land-
she offered Billywill some wisdom, tea and a kiss,
and sang stories of ledgends and dreams oh, so grand-
Billywill's eyes grew wider as he listened to her,
he asked where may he find these kinds of things-
which way is the way to where these wonders occur,
and how shall I know what's inside of thses dreams-
Katie just smiled and took Billywill by the paw,
and told him true, of where and which way to pursue-
she pointed away, to the high mountain, and he saw,
the dreamer is there, said she, with his smiles a clue-
So this is the way Billywill found Mister Green,
and how the two of them had become such good friends-
their tale has more to tell than what you have seen,
there is more to be said in the meaning that it lends-
You see, Billywill learned how to dream and smile wide,
he dreamed fabulous dreams of every kind of things-
and Mister Green learned to listen to the animals side-
how to hear their wisdoms and feel the joy it brings-
Together they worked hard on a new flying machine,
it was finished later that night and ready to fly-
but evening had come, bringing the time for dreams,
they'd have to wait for the morning's light to try-
As they both fell asleep, they dreamed of the skies,
they flew up and around in their machine with a whirl-
beyond the clouds and stars, much to their surprise,
they flew way up so high, they could see the whole world-
It was something I started ten years ago
and finally finished it. It may need rearranging,
does need editing, maybe simpler words, but
if someone thinks it's worth a try, I want
nothing. just thought it is worth a try.
