"...
He took his vorpal sword in hand:
Long time the manxome foe he sought--
So rested he by the Tumtum tree,
And stood awhile in thought.
And as in uffish thought he stood,
The Jabberwock, with eyes of flame,
Came whiffling through the tulgey wood,
And burbled as it came!
One, two! One, two! and through and through
The vorpal blade went snicker-snack!
He left it dead, and with its head
He went galumphing back.
..."

Make-Believe Time
If I were to dream. When I could dream. What a dream it would be.
A land far away, but not a land at all, instead clouds.
To dance the sea of clouds, and sing the song of heaven would truly be a thing.
A kingdom perhaps? Forged in the sky, out of island clouds and floating rocks and castles - because I so very much like castles - under a celestial sky alive with writhing lights.
Because I also like lights, and while incredible, they come out far too infrequently and faded here. I miss the open starlit skies. Which is why there would be no cities: under punishment of DEATH!
And of course, the sky kingdom would need knights, or some similar order - with mounts - and while I like horses the are a touch, well how to say this delicately: terrestrial? Butterflies? I like butterflies, but everyone always expects them. No, we'll ride giant fireflies that further light the night sky in hues of gentle green light.
Since there's knights with steeds, there'll have to be jousts. Except they'll be amazing jousts with things that are like lances, except they're ON FIRE! Firelances. Yeah.
On second thought. That's a silly idea.
I think I'll just go for a walk.
