Once upon a weekday dreary
Mermaids singing, faeries flitting
Time for dreaming with the stars
I wonder now if that lane is true
The Nightmare Lane to DreamLand
The place we go in mightful thinking
The place where there is confidence stewing
The place only trusted with by those of Lore
I wonder once and wander twice
Passed by renegading mice
The Sirens sing, the Willows wisp
The Wendigo takes a sip
The latest arrival on Nightmare Lane
Cold, scared, and fleeting
Only a step, child, is to be taken
To get to DreamLand on Unicorns
She passes through in golden light
Wonders why in DreamLand
As I pace these hallowed halls
I wish for the sighing call
To take me away to DreamLand
Where parents don't fight
Where siblings don't bicker
To go and frolick with those of Lore
Up in the sky where the Universe lies
Where humanity left those of Lore
Just past Mars and North of Venus
Yet just below the angel's world
Where Mermaids sing and faeries are flitting
Wished for on weekdays, twice or more
Is a wonderful place few remember
Just like those of roundabout Lore
A place called DreamLand just off Nightmare Lane
A home to those who wish with stars
Who lay on roofs yet dream on Mars
Those who are not meant for this worldly plane.
