Prophet's Dream (to the background accompaniment of Handel's "And He Shall Purify")
I had a dream
I dreamt I was in
A room,
Seated at a table
Along with
President Reagan.
An assailant
Lunged
At the president and
Me
And two security men
Tackled the assailant,
Bringing him
To
The floor.
The scene changed.
Me
And the two security men
Were walking the assailant
Down
A tiled corridor.
The scene changed.
I
Was standing in my backyard
And
President Reagan was there.
He said,
"Thank you, Bob"
And I said,
"You're welcome, Mr. President."
And
We
Shook hands.
As he was walking away from
Me, I shouted to him,
"But, Mr. President, I am Number 1 ! "
I turned to
My
right,
And below
Me
Were a few hundred priests.
Two of them walked up to
Me And escorted
Me
Down to the others
For a ceremony.
The scene changed.
�1999 Robert Tremblay
