TV in the Sky

3 days ago,
I thought I saw bunnies.
The big fluffy tailed variety
Chasing after a weird shaped thingy,
Which I felt resembled sticks of celery.

2 days ago,
I thought I saw some sheep.
With a big bad wolf behind taking a peep.
Worrying for their safety,
Thank God I saw an old lady
(Perhaps the one from Little Red Riding Hood)
Taking a stick of wood,
Seeking for revenge,
Bashed him up like she was bashing a can!

Yesterday,
I thought I saw some dark knights,
Riding horses through the night.
But it was all too soon,
Before a dragon like a mad loon
Blew down some light rays,
And the night turned into day.
Why in the haste to runaway,
I saw one of them break a leg!

Today,
There are no images.
I sat there staring for ages,
But only saw a background of blue,
Nothing more than a hazy hue.
“Please turn the TV back on okay?”
Perhaps the clouds aren’t out yet to play.
