If you were going to open up a shop, what would you sell?

If I were to open a shop

I tell you it will be not

An ordinary one for sure

Down the valley

By the winding path

Rushing up to the sky

A cute stop

That’s my shop oh dear


With trelises of blossoms

Twirling right up

On the rocker

Swinging in air

You shall find me

Playing a flute or a pipe

Of fluid notes to cheer

Those who come by

I shall sell them dreams

And tell them to believe

Whether or not they transpire

Wings shall sprout

To kiss the clouds

To peck the moon

And tickle the stars brighter

The breeze shall dance

The birds shall hum

The fish in the rivers

Sure shall share

The forests shall echo

The cheery buzz

Lo! Hear! Hear!

In return I shall ask

Not a penny my dear!

Only a fistful of stars

Peace shall thrive

Love shall unite

And break the walls of fear

Men shall forget

How to war

How to drop nuclear

How to pollute

Mother Earth

How to ensnare

If you come across

The “Dreamer ‘s Cot”

Don’t you hurry by

Just drop in

And wave a Hi!

I shall teach you to be

A dreamer like me

Never shall you be

Less than merrier!!!!
