Knock-knock. Whose dare?

 What’s waiting for you out there?

Knock-knock. Whose dare?

A quadruple lento to make a memento 

Aye, dreams, they are fantastical.

Nigh days, though, chaos bring.

By mayhem’s mix bombastical,

Why do mistakes upswing?

Chill. Marvelous and crazy treats

Fill up the books today.

Will favorite coffee, chocolate sweet

Still summon you to play?

In light, extraordinary sights

Spin wonders, call you out.

Then leave your blanket for delights.

Chin up, and walk about.

Come. Strange adventures beckon us

From hither off to yon.

Dumbfoundedness can be a plus,

Thumbs up, and let’s begone!
