"In Your Dreams"

Doug Donnan

It might be quite nice to dance a Viennese waltz or stroll a promenade

and it might be nice to write a billet-doux or perhaps visit a cavalcade

There are things you will never do but there is nothing wrong with that

your dreams can be your private pleasure as you lay down on your mat

You probably will never have the chance to sail around the seven seas

but in your heart you will always know your dreams can forever please

Never lose your dreams

All throughout your life of hapless hope serendipity and happenstance

Never lose your dreams

_____ The End _____

=========================================================

"Communication Breakdown"

Doug Donnan

There is no refuting the fact that we sometimes see things differently

our lack of meaningful communication a matter of indifferent insanity

It is no small wonder that we cannot see certain situations eye to eye

without our discussing the points and positions there is no need to try

An erudite solution would be to toss all our electronic gadgets ASAP

then just perhaps we can resolve our differences and live in harmony
