"My Ponderous Dream"
I'm walking down the West Virginia highway looking for a Burger King, when I become surrounded by a raging flood. Muddy water as deep as an ocean and as far as I can see surround me. While I am standing on a small circle of land, billions of white tailed deer come up out of the muddy water and start praying with their two front hooves, and humming some sort of weird chant I can't understand.
It was very ponderous!
Before I knew it, I was on a underground operating table somewhere. My doctors were these big Stegosaurus dinosaurs. They were mumbling some kind of language I couldn't understand. They were replacing all my bones with dog bones. I remember feeling no pain, but I was very scared and confused.
It was very ponderous!
Next thing I know, I am swimming across the Ohio river trying to keep away from the killer sharks, who are after me. Their long sharp teeth made a funny clicking noise. I get to the other side of the river and Vanna White is there asking me to pick a letter. I pick the letter z. She tells me there is no z, and that I must swim back to the other side. Over and over again I pick the wrong letter, and escape the shark bites.
I'm telling ya it was ponderous!
Talk about weird, now it is my first day at my new high school. I can't seem to find my locker. I ask for directions and they send me across a railroad track, into some musty old basement. I get to the basement which looks and smells like an old locker room. My locker is the only one down there and I don't know my locker combination. I scream for help but my no one hears me but my haunting echoes. I hear the school bell ringing. RING, RING, RING.....
(my alarm clock goes off)
(I wake up and rub my eyes.)
How ponderous. It was only a dream!
