Fairy Tale Fool

I'm a fool, can't you see?
Can you imagine what life could be.
My chariot awaits in the pumpkin patch
A horse of a different color's hooked to the hatch
Take me away to "Never-never land"
Fly ABOVE the stars and UNDER the sand.
On Bashful, on Sleepy, on Grumpy, on Sneezy,
On Doc, on Happy, on Dopey, and Bambi?
Its time to celebrate, drink the Mad Hatter's tea
While swing-dancing with crayfish "Under the sea".
All dogs go to heaven according Lady and the Tramp
They had 101 Dalmations when they rubbed the magic lamp
Rapunzel, Rapunzel let down your hair,
So Jack can climb your stalk up into the air.
The three pigs built their house of straw
But that damn Rumpelstiltskin made gold of it all
If you don't believe what I'm telling you is TRUE
Ask my NOSEy friend Pinocchio and Winnie the Pooh
And so shall it be, we're all filled with laughter
So kiss a Frog Prince and live happily ever after!

Here's one more

Naturally my sight is blurred
Corrected by the lense's curve
Just like new, the doctor spewed
Little does he know, this is far from true

At night the darkness consumes my pupils
Colliding with obstacles that impede my motor skills
Lost and shaking in the unrelentless black
I curl into fedal position until the sun comes back

It is not only day and night that manipulates my sight
With a tip of the bottle, the world transforms into a drunken delight
Laughing, crying, losing my inhibitions, crawling-out from my hole
Driving between wavy lines on cruise control

My vision is not perfect
Things aren't always the way I suspect
A friend once told me you will never know what's real
Unless you ask them to show you how they feel.
