Dream Sandwich

Dreams are amazing things. Dream of being a superhero, doctor, or making a sandwich.

Dream Sandwich

In dreams, young Leo danced on Saturn's rings,
No gravity could dampen his strut.
A disco king in space with glow-in-the-dark bling,
He moonwalked past comets, smooth as a cut.

One night, he dreamt of a sandwich divine:
He built it on Mars with a Martian chef.
"Pickles, regret, cosmic cheese, and brine."
He sang, though tone deaf.

Leo dreamt of bacon with pan-flare bravado,
Collapsed into pancakes. He woke with a start,
Everything burnt, including a roasted avocado.
"What again?" Clutching his heart.

That night, he flew on a spoon through soup skies,
Woke up laughing, the dawn all aglow-
With new ambition in his eyes,
And made that sandwich. (It tasted just so.)
