I dream of a south sea island,
in the tropics down below,
I lay on the beach half naked,
a warm breeze starts to blow.
I'm alone on this tropic isle,
washed up upon it's shore,
I have no idea how I got here,
my mind can't remember anymore.
The sun beats down upon my body,
the waves tore away my shirt,
as I rise I brush away the sand,
thank goodness I'm wearing my skirt.
I start to look for shelter,
soon the moon will fill the sky,
all alone on this deserted island,
the loneliness makes me sigh.
The bushes adorned with white orchids,
I rubbed my fingers through my hair,
then I gently picked an orchid,
and placed it over my ear.
There are sand dunes piled high,
as far as my eyes can see.,
as I start to walk inland,
a coconut falls from a tree.
By now I'm getting hungry,
my mouth wants a drink,
I start to shake the coconut,
my mind begins to think.
I sat and opened up the coconut,
with a pointed oyster shell,
another one fell and hit my head,
my ears were ringing like bells.
I was getting rather dizzy,
and couldn't see straight anymore,
I thought I saw something floating,
on the waves coming into shore.
It was a large wooden barrel,
the lid was slightly ajar,
the lid had Hebrew writing,
it must have floated far.
As I struggled to stand it upright,
it started oozing funny sounds,
a green liquid with a familiar odor,
began seeping into the ground.
I began to think this barrel,
was full of something dead,
suddenly my dream was over,
I WOKE UP
there were kosher pickles in my bed.
