Dream by Fassbinder

And while you slept -

I climbed the mountains
Sailed the seas
Without any family
With relative ease

Achieved the grades
Earned the money
Never failed
To find life funny

Ended famine
… Third World debt
Invented health chocolate
And the Green Jumbo Jet

Saved the whale/
Endangered Meer cat
Worked out Boehms Theory
On the back of a beer mat

Became a Lad’s lad
And a perfect gent
Gave up sinning
For more than lent

Bigged you up
Enhanced your status
Mastered ‘Happy Birthday’
On a cazoo, with flatus

Said sorry for neglect
When I meant to help
Improved your physical
And mental health .

Made our drug of choice
Five portions of fruit
In the space of 10 minutes
Got the world to follow suit

And then I awoke

While you kept sleeping.
