THE DREAMER

I have always been a dreamer
And I am a dreamer still
But my dreams just never do come true
Perhaps they never will

I once dreamed I was a hero
So full of derring-do
But I simply was not needed
Doing things that heroes do

I dreamed I could make music
Perhaps play a baby grand
But somehow there was never time
To go and join the band

I dreamed of painting pictures
Portraits true to life
But all I ever managed was
A photo of the Wife

I dreamed I’d be a singer
They said my voice was fair
But they’d bang upon the bathroom door
If I started singing there

I dreamed I’d be a writer
But I couldn’t find a plot
Somehow a play seemed easier
But Shakespeare I am not

So I will go on dreaming
It really suits me fine
I might even be a poet
If only I had the time
