Dream a Lil', Dream a Lot

Pink Floyd, Narnia, Stephen King and Shantam Basu came together to make this poem. So did Isaac Asimov.

Tiger, Deer, Mouse
Big Old House,
Knock, Knock, Knock,
"Watch your step there, Klaus"
Big old clock,
Going, tick and going tock,
"Yes, keep this door locked,
Behind it lurks a world,
Different from ours,
Not for little boys,
Oops must rush"

Klaus goes up,
Outside the door,
Big bright light,
Under the frame,
"Find. The. Key
Set. Yourself. Free."

Klaus wakes up,
Goes to school,
Finds the house,
In his dream,
Opens the door
Sets himself free

Klaus dreams again,
And again, and again

"He's found the key you see,
The child is grown."

"The dream?"

Klaus just smiles.

The Bilge Master
