Flying in a Blue Dream....
I woke last night to the sound of thunder; How far off, I sat and wandered…
I started humming a tune from 1962, ain't it funny how the night moves…
The thunder became a persistent knocking at my door, and I realized I had been dreaming about a song.
As I go to get up, I am Tangled up in blue, and find I have been wrapped up in my own Beard, which has grow to at least 3 feet in length and is a silvery blue in color. Not to odd for me, except I usually remember when I change colors. The knocking won't go away, and as I untangle myself from my beard, a form stirs by my side, and I see for the first time it is a Lady, whom I tell her to Lay Lady, Lay, I've got this. As I wander to the door, grab my phone, which has morphed into a cross between a Swiss Army knife with a Steam Punk twist…I start to realize I may not be in Kansas anymore…So I grab my fuzzy alligator slippers and a beach towel(read somewhere to always bring a towel), and head for the door.
I pass a window and see that the Sky is an Aquamarine in color and looks so serene, and an odd thought hits me…(odd for me…this has to be good!) I wonder if there will be coffee in this dream….I move now as if moving in Molasses, past 3 doors to the 4th Door,(swore I only had a 2 door when I went to bed) and it is fairly busting loose from the jam with the knocking and pounding.
I open the door a crack and burst it does as a dozen small people fall in as if tossed from a whirlwind. Close it quick screams one…there are right behind us! As I go to look to see what kind of blue Hell pelts your door with midgets…they scream in unison, "Close IT, we'll tell you a Tale"! I ask if it will be a long Tale, to which the leader( as I was quick to spot) Replies, "It will be a short Tail if you don't pull yours out before you shut it!" (note to self: I am not in Kansas, I have a three foot beard, and a tail, the sky is the wrong color, I am in a House with 4 Doors, unclear on the coffee question….but none of this strikes me as strange!) Too late, a flashing light pops out of the wall and knocks me on my ass. Okay guys, what the hell was that…In unison they reply, "We are not sure, but in Neon Blue, it had the letters S-T-R-A-N-G-E on it" So, now a STRANGE light knocks me on my ass…I am officially worried!
What is all this about I ask, and they all start babbling at once…Hold em up Boys, If you have the TIME, I think I'd rather hear this over coffee. They seem to have a collective mind, and giggle, "all the time in the World"…
Hi Ho, Hi Ho, it's off for Coffee we go…(stop that!) {it wasn't me!} [all ways knew I'd end up "up around the Bend] (getting kind of crowded in here)….
So…what brings 12 midgets to my house at 1:23 in the morning for coffee? The Leader laughs and says you do…We found these cards, (he produces a Punch Card) and they are for the Copeville Coffee Club, it says (Good for 1 free cup with the purchase of 10) Looks like some Cards I printed once, but the date was off by 700 years! These are expired boys, you'll have to pay for your coffee and be on your way. We don't think so Mr. Webb. Read the fine Print: COFFEE SERVED AT ANY TIME. So we chose 700 years into your future, and we hope we have chosen the correct date. You see, your coffee has become legend, and we found these cards at the End of All Things, and some pretty nasty Characters were on their way here to make your world a little strange….I suppose you Boys consider this all perfectly normal…?
At this time…he pulls a Contract, a pen shaped like a Cheech and Chong Joint,(still wondering how it was still smoking after all these years)" Read this, sign here, here and here, initial here and here, help us smoke this Splif, and then, and only then…If…..
A loud hissing noise, and a crash invade what may have been the strangest dream I have ever had, followed by a 43 ft wrecking ball destroy the Front door! Boom, the back swing looks like the operator may have chipped it alittle, but still manages to take out the Back door…The leader Grabs the contract, the still smoking pen, and says "Good thing you had two more Doors installed…" and the whole group scramble to a side door, open it into a vortex, and scream, Come with us if you want to live!!!!"
Damn it Boys….I hate sequels!
