The Sixteenth of the Month--If I Were And You Were poem--Delusional

Today we're doing If I Were And You Were poems. If you'd like to know what that is, go here.

Delusional

If I were a puppy

And you were a shark

I'd dog paddle towards you

And joyously bark

If your teeth were enormous

And incredibly strong

I'd still want to kiss you

And we'd swim along

Sometimes I'd dive under

And give you a lick

And you wouldn't bite me

And I wouldn't kick

But after a while

I'd get tired in the waves

And I'd have to swim down

To the deep water caves

And there we'd have dinner

On lobsters and fish

And there would be dancing 

And you'd grant my wish

And then I'd wake up

In my small puppy bed

You'd be in the ocean

And not in my head

I know these are silly

Ridiculous dreams

Instead of warm kisses

You always bring screams

Sometimes in the darkness

I'd lie there and wonder

If the idea of "us" might

Be a horrible blunder
