It seemed just like a normal morning
it seemed just like normal morning when he woke up
the birds outside were singing their usual tuneful melody
he climbed out of his small bed to put on his old glasses
then looked out the window and opened his eyes to see
what he saw he could not believe, for the sky was green
and on the blue grass there was a giant snail whistling
dogs were flying while six legged birds buried tiny bones
he stood there in awe with his mouth opened wondering
a noise a bell rung from a hairy butterfly's square wings
as it fluttered around the legs of a duck in a plaid suit
the mail box was boxing with a three headed kangaroo
who was wearing a dress and one polka dotted boot
out in the street he saw the postman on a pogo stick
putting parcels into the mouths of a pink and yellow cats
a cow drove past in a toy bus with checkered windows
carrying a group of army ants each holding baseball bats
some fat bees squeaked as they rode upon a huge mouse
saying hello to the trees as they played a game of cards
it started to rain upwards as the purple sun spun around
then seven marbles sat up and began to sing like bards
suddenly there was an earthquake in the metal clouds
and they cracked opened releasing lumps of cold lead
the man had enough of was he saw outside the window
and climbed dumbfounded back into his comfortable bed
two minutes later his daughter came in to his bedroom
''looks like dad must of found his birthday present. i see''
as she walk over towards the large window in the corner
''and he has been watching a music video clip on the t,v.''
