"License and Revelation, Please"
As my head bumped rhythmically on the upper rib cage inside the giraffe the porter returned to reexamine my ticket. A ticket like I’d never seen before, made from turtle phlegm and burlap, and inscribed in gold leaf with my destination printed boldly on the front...
For hours we navigated the porch, making towards the lemonade pitcher, as flocks of khaki napkins did their level best to delay our progress. Just when it seemed we would reach the tray that held our long sought after refreshment a former boss and my dead uncle began a tug-of-war with the handle. Attempting to squelch the argument, troops of monkeys scampered across the roof, sirens blaring. Awful sirens that made noises like Little Richard performing “Tutti Frutti”.
As I reached to silence the alarm I slowly came to the realization that dreaming is a little like riding in a luxury car with your 13-year-old nephew behind the wheel.
You have no control over where you’re going, but it’s bound to be, at the very least, an interesting trip.
It sounds like your 13-year-old nephew is an even better driver than mine.
Don't you love dreaming?

Yeah, I even dreamed up a 13-year old nephew. All I have is nieces. And they're all grown up.

My dreams at the moment of the alarm is not often memorable, and I am glad.

Keep counting your blessings, FF&F. Your timing must be impeccable.

I had no idea that you were describing a nightmare until you made reference to Tuti Fruiti and Little Richard. Up until that point I had assumed incorrectly that it was just the mushrooms talking.

An easy mistake. But, no, the talking mushrooms is an entirely different dream.
Thanks for stopping by!

Too bad about the alarm. Seems to me that one was just starting to get to the good part!

Yeah, if there was a good part, it would have been much later than this.

Little Richard couldn't have said it better himself.
