To get inside the head
of a young man’s dreams
think the thoughts of comic book’s
imaginary scenes
Pretty ladies, dashing men,
under bright moonbeams
Kings and knights and far off lands
and evil schemes
 
Of course he is the hero
the little boy in bed
writing down these stories
that someday will be read
to other little boys and girls
to fill their little heads
with imaginary lifetimes
to dream about instead
