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!

    1. That should say "boost"! No, not a Freudian slip.
