Are mermaids real,
can penguins fly,
is that blue paint across the sky?
Do dogs talk,
do fiddler-crabs play,
does the sun chase the moon
or does night follow day?
Can you count all the grains of sand if you try real hard,
or maybe, perhaps, light a new star?
Can you dance with a duck,
ride a red toad?
Do fairys live in flowers,
along the side of the road?
Are these too many questions,
or do I ask too few?
Can you tell right now what I should do?

Close your eyes my child and the answers you seek,
a dragon will bring to you in your sleep.
