Dream Poem for Kat #2.

I dreamt you were alone on a pier at night
when a pelican swooped down
to gobble you up whole
and as the rain fell harder the great bird

smiled as your cattail hung from its beak.
And suddenly I forgot what it was that it gobbled
and with only your tail to guess from
I guessed you were a sea-rat,

which meant you weren't worth rescuing.
Sorry. But as the great bird flew off into the storm
I realized it was you in there, and that you must be very
scared.
