Analysis of An Ordinary Day in Dreamland
An ordinary day in Dreamland
Is filled with green skies and pink sand.
There are monsters and demons of all sizes
Waiting to produce ashes.
An ordinary day in Dreamland
Consists of talking skunks and hopping bears.
There are deer in wheelchairs
And monkeys in tears.
An ordinary day in Dreamland
Involves blue lions and rodent bands.
Dinosaurs dance ballerina
And hamsters play the tuba.
An ordinary day in Dreamland
Has talking camels and walking candles.
The world is ruled by battling beetles
With their feet in colorful sandals.
An ordinary day in Dreamland as you can see,
Is one filled with many surprises along the way.
There can be talking animals and singing bamboos,
But don't forget the main character in any dream is YOU!
