The Dolphins Were Dancing

by Dean Friedman
 Fell asleep in an easy chair with the TV on.
 Found myself standing somewhere but the room was gone.
 And a troop of chimpanzees were swinging through the trees
 And flock of yellow birds were making up the words in perfect harmony
 And the dolphins were dancing...
 And the sky was filled with birds for a thousand miles.
 And the platypuses played along the shore with the crocodiles.
 And a hundred thousand whales were balancing on their tails
 and the starfish and the clams were in a circle holding hands with the oysters and the snails
 And the dolphins were dancing...
 And as the evening fell, the sky turned red And it seemed as if somehow the sun had bled.
 And I stared into the eyes of a million fire flies. And I heard an eagle say, "We celebrate this day man has finally passed away."
 And the dolphins were dancing...
