Five Minute Dream Five minute dream's a sparkling clear stream, That winds through a valley in the early

spring, A birch bark canoe on a calm still lake, Stories round a camp-fire, a fresh clam bake! Five minute dream's an ephemeral thing, A firm round bagel with soft smooth cream, A cool autumn breeze, an entrancing snake, Curled up dreaming in a hollow by the rake! Five minute dream's a beautiful theme, Thoughts of elation make jaded eyes beam, A warm piece of toast, a long smoke break, That turns the world hazy, while I'm awake! By Arturo Tora (7 October 2012)
