chocolate cake

one time i had a dream that an old friend invited me over to her library.

i hadn't seen her in many years, but she had a very well known collection. when i got there none of the books would open unless i had a piece of chocolate cake. she baked it herself.

i selected a volume of poetry by the famous roman author carassius auratus, and was going to read his finely crafted verse, but the sun went down -- and it got too dark to read. his poems, which are often about cows, farming, and rural settings, can be very scary around halloween.

fashion please!

one time i had a dream that gerald, the brother of mathilde - who is the fiancée of my cousin harold, unveiled his latest fashion designs.

he said they were inspired by staircases and the process of refrigeration.

the beaux monde adored his waistcoats.

music

one time i had a dream that o'connell got her fiddle oiled. 

and it was me that was doing the greasing.

the goat restaurant

one time i had a dream that the goat restaurant tried to put a lock on the seasons, but time broke through in 100 gallon drums.

the podcast

one time i had a dream that they gave the daffodils their own pod-cast.

unfortunately, the floor boards were hollow, and the captain of the daffodils fell through. he even broke his leg. it sort of ruined the presentation for the first several episodes and the pod cast never caught on.

it got cancelled by the end of 3 months.

the iron curtain

one time i had a dream that i was detained behind the iron curtain because of my connection to the mustard movement. they revoked my passport and exit documents.

since i was unable to leave, i just took a vacation inside my head. the secret police even kept a file on it. eventually, i was able to convince them that mustard wasn't about east or west, it was about flavour. they said i could leave the country, but i'd have to get smuggled out on a truck load of relish headed to berlin.
from there i was able to cross at check point charlie, and catcha flight from london back to albany.

it wasn't very good relish, but it was free.

new deck of cards

one time i had a dream that my deck of cards arrived just in time for mardi gras.

however, the crossword king shut down the hula-hoop club.
