Sleepy Dreamer

Once upon a sleepy dreamer,

a rolling wave turned into a tiger

and walked along the shore.

"What do you want?"

asked the sleepy dreamer

to the tiger,

but the tiger did not reply.

He only watched.

Inside the tiger's eye,

the sleepy dreamer spotted the moon

rising from the sea.

And as that moon rose,

a rolling wave morphed into a monkey

and walked along the shore.

"What do you want?"

asked the sleepy dreamer

to the monkey,

but the monkey did not reply.

He only watched.

And inside the monkey's eye,

the sleepy dreamer spotted the tiger

sleeping so soundly

and snoring upon the moon.
