This offering is my rendering of a dream that a cousin described. She is a landscape painter and I am still waiting to see her interpretation!

Dreams

I saw a most weird fruit tree: one I did not recognise,
With apples and bananas, and a lovely pear or two;
But even stranger, hanging there, cows that were undersize!
I made a fruity milkshake then to share it just with you.

And there across the golden sands, the sea was rolling in;
It seemed to be quite usual to see the surfers there,
Except that they were elephants, quite small and coloured green,
Transparent, made from jelly; all I did was stand and stare.

I felt that I could share with you, (for you would understand)
These wondrous scenes that drifted o'er my dreamy mental state.
It's surely not the sausages, but on the other hand,
I wonder could it be the orange mushrooms that I ate?

Tom Chapman

The mushrooms for sure. Enjoyed the idea of elephants made of green jelly Tom.

Not a bad dream though Tom - relaxing on a beach with a fruit medley at hand watching the surf roll in and smoking magic mushrooms

Aaah, Maureen you're a dag.

Well done Maureen! Even the old man under the tree looks familiar, and sort of happy.

did you have some input to the statue that the previuos gevernment bought Maureen?....

No Ross - my elephant is perfectly normal - a tad green - perhaps a bit of mal de mer, but standing upright and proud as befits such a behemoth - he is not into yoga, despite having eastern connections

Only sort of happy Tom? I thought he looked pretty laid back myself Magic mushrooms have that effect I think

Waste of a good fishing beach in my opinion !

You can fish Robere - the jumbo doesn't mind a bit - he doesn't like fish anyway.

If you think I'm eating fish from where a elephant has done his buisness you are mad !!
