Garden Table

The day was so very hot

I went to the creek for a dip

Where I was pulled off a rock

For an unscheduled trip

 

Washed underwater downstream

I seemed to pass from this world

Carried past ghastly sights

As down pon creek I was hurled

 

Dark eyes watched from black trees

Ghoul’s and Goblin’s screamed all round

All along shores, Screecher’s danced

Making their blood gurgling sound

 

The sky turned green then red

The creek water was getting too hot

Then a Cyclops with razor-blade fingers

Brought me to a sudden stop

 

He lifted and then he threw me

Into a now cooler creek’s flow

Sirens screamed, flashing red lights

As I was carried deep down below

 

To a cavern where black things flew

To a fancy garden table for two

Where sat my good buddy, Ghoul Gordon

With two cups of fresh perked brew

 

“Sorry for all the drama”, said he,

“But I just put on a fresh pot,

I thought we might both appreciate,

This darling garden table I’d just bought!”

Dave, you really should avoid dope when you swim. You never know what you'll see.

[Dave Brown]

Do you mean my consuming or me being??

[John the Baptist]

Probably a little of both.

nasty .

Very creative stanzas. My goodness you have an imagination . The garden table and the brew are just my cup of tea. The journey there? Perhaps not:) very entertaining to read Dave.

I believe Ghoul Gordon is working on a less dramatic form of conveyance, having soft music to accompany comfortable seating and scheduled visits which would avoid more than two using the table at the same time!
I understand that it is an absolutely lovely table.
Enjoy yourself

The soft music without a doubt is an added bonus, (for some) tell Ghoul Gordon:)

Nothing's better than being forcefully taken out of your mundane lifestyle and being greeted with warm gestures by the supernatural, or just rare faces. A very fun and mind-stimulating tale, author Dave Brown, reading it, was again, a delight.

Thank you Stu
I always enjoy your visits
