Analysis of Wow ! A Night Mare
Once I had a nightmare,
Not a dream but a nightmare.
In it I saw a beautiful girl,
Who was more like a fresh pearl.
I knew and believed it was a dream and only a dream,
therefore introduced myself with a little more appreciative cream.
She was pleased with my cute little talk,
and we then started on a path to walk.
After sometime I realised she was beginning to like me,
which brought me to the conclusion I used the right key.
In a flash of time I saw three years passed,
When she introduced me to my ought-to-be-in-laws.
Then suddenly it was my dream, which turned into a nightmare,
When in a flash I saw her standing as my 'wife' there.
She now never spoke a word of love,
But ruthlessly gave me my bag to go for work.
It was one day when she and I had a fight,
She was more like a gigantic warrior than a beautiful wife.
It was then when she threw at me a cake with a cream,
which also became at a hit and a drastic end of my dream.
