Dreaming and the Cosmic Joke
I dreamt last night the world had changed
And everything was rearranged,
That Gordon Brown in his despair
Had sold his soul to Tony Blair,
That Putin made a vow of peace
And said the KGB must cease,
And Benedict, the Panzer Pope,
Was cottaging and smoking dope.
I dreamt Madonna became a nun,
Saying fame and riches were no fun,
Bob Dylan said he'd had enough
And all his lyrics were just bluff,
While Michael Jackson was a saint
Whose love of children was so quaint.
I dreamt that Poverty and War
Had left the world for evermore,
That Happiness now ruled instead
Of all the tears that Man had shed,
But then I suddenly awoke
And realised that Life's a Joke,
Jesus may have been the Word
But life to me seems so Absurd!
