1.
Pretend you’re a tree and come with me.
I’ll take you where the clouds were born
before they melt into the sea, where all the
Dolphins probably pee.
We’ll climb a ladder to the sky
and wonder how we got there.
2.
Pretend you’re a dog
just come out of the fog.
Throw off the clogs, the hooves
and stand aloof, forsooth, forsooth.
I’ll tell you a tale that’s delved
from stale hail.
Hail! We must prevail.
3.
The pocket pretended she was a locket
and put a silly hand into an electric
socket.
I lost her locket and stole her keys
when one day she pretended to be me.
4.
Pretend you’re a cat
Who had no mat upon she sat
Pretend you’re a door
who couldn’t say more.
Encore, encore!
5
Pretend you’re a head
gone slightly unsled.
Instead...instead of today
think twice for tomorrow
and three times for yesterday
and when today comes think only of then.
6.
Pretend you’re a human
If just for one day,
don’t look in the mirror
don’t run away.
Never forget that pause
in a lifetime
when you were human
when you were free.
