All I had to ask for I got always,
For instance I asked for rain,
It didn’t stop nor did it drain,
I asked for snow in summer,
A blizzard we got in July, to some a bummer…
I paid for everything right out of my pocket,
Even did I buy in cash for a moon trip, a rocket,
Rene did have all she could ever want,
Even did I go on a wild animal camera hunt…
In a trance it did seem to put me,
Everything I ever wanted I got for free,
Granted this is something I have always dreamed,
But I was still unhappy, my life was anything but fun to a degree…
No longer did I have to worry,
No longer did I have to hurry,
No one did want to me hire,
And my last job did me fire,
When I developed this attitude,
Giving no one any leeway, no latitude…
Could it have been the money,
The reason in my dream I lost my honey,
My dog did leave me for points less sunny,
My freedom lost, as I thought I could buy,
Myself out of any problem,
In jail my ability to get what I want did me no good,
Other than to maybe make me a better hood…

You look absolutely adorable...snuggle extra close to your pet tonight, it's supposed to be cold. :) Keep each other warm.
