This Weird Dream I Had

 

There’s a castle chalked with chaos

in front stands a wagon-girl

who cant control her bucking horse

he tried to kick me on my way out

‘Calm down!’ she was red-faced and flustered

then she smiled slyly at me and shouted

‘horse for sale!’  and I was pulled by my arm

my mom at my side bidding her price

she plopped me on him when we got home

where he bucked me off and proceeded to kick at me

my mother was perplexed.  she told me to mount again.

I ran.  I ran until I came here, to MSA.

But, I think I was also hiding from the Japanese

they had started chasing me on my way

and I ran up many flights of stairs to get away

I tried to hide in Mrs. Sus’ office

but it wasn’t a good place

but i found a CD in there

and I took it, too

It was a movie that I watched in my room

while the Japanese searched tirelessly

they found me when I went to put the CD back

Mrs. Sus caught me.  She discussed the movie with me

then I took off from the Japanese, eventually reaching the roof

this is where the dream ended.

should I jump?  Or should I face my enemies?
