The Strange Dream

Once a strange dream I had
I was there with mum and dad
In a cage we all sat
It had food, furniture and mat
Then came a bird on the scene,
Dressed lavishly like a queen
She said her name was Birdie Bird,
All i heard was chirp-chirp-chirp
She looked a lot like mum's pet
Near whom none of us could get
She kept us caged for days on end
Without family, foe or friend
Caging animals is not a trend
Is what I learnt, and I don't petend.
I woke up with a start and scream,
Learning a lesson from my dream
I went to mummy's pet in rage,
To free the bird from the cage
But it had already been done,
By my own dad & mum.
