Living The Dream Poem by Mary Champion

Living his dreams was proving hard -
probably because his dreams were pretty wild
and he was a lot luckier in dreams
than he was in waking life.

In dreams he encountered luscious women
and swept them off their feet.
In waking life they sneered and walked away.

In dreams he won the lottery
on a mega rollover draw
In waking life he lost his shirt on a horse.

In dreams he had a six pack
and a dazzling white smile.
In waking life he had a beer-gut and dentures.

In dreams he flew effortlessly
from the Shard to the top of Everest.
In waking life he was killed in the fall.
