I dreamt I was in the library
and all the books had come to life
like over in the Horror section
where a Psycho was holding a bloody knife.
Cowboys were fighting Red Indians
as arrows flew about in the air
but when a Librarian told them to be quiet
an Apache chopped off her hair.
Animals were going crazy and running amok
as Tarzan tried hard to calm them all down
while over where the music books were
Elvis Presley and Beethoven danced to Tamla Mowtown.
Classic writers corner was lively as well
because Charles Dickens was arm wrestling Shakespeare
and as Chaucer read from his Canterbury Tales
Jane Austin was smoking and swigging beer.
Great sporting events were also taking place
as a Spitfire flew low around the room
and in the bookcases grew wild exotic plants
while an Egyptian Mummy rose from it's Tomb.
Yes it was only a mad crazy dream
and far too strange to be true
but secretly I wish it had really happened
and come on be honest now, don't you?
