Rock-a-bye-baby

It’s windy outside

With a glass of red wine

You climb into your hammock

- – -

Beside your hammock is a tall stool

The music plays

Rock-a-bye-baby

That caresses your ears

- – -

Somehow it’s cool outside

With a shining sun

However you rock and rock

As you are soothed by the joys

Of being alive

- – -

You’re unwinding

You’re no longer as tired

After a hard day’s work

But all you hear is this lullaby

Rock-a-bye-baby

- – -

You dozed off

Then caught yourself

With birds tweeting around you

You imagined yourself being

In a magical world

- – -

Amidst flowering plants and blossoms

You see yourself as in a dream

Surrounded by huge amounts

Of chocolates bathed in ice cream
