There‘s a rainforest in my CD player.
Rushing here and rushing there
Time ticks past so quickly
I swear I could feel a breeze!
Running down, running out of energy
I was surprised to see a glitch in time
“I will cook tea” he said
Oh my, what to do, what to do
I slowly lay myself on to the bed
Turning the light on,
Pressing play on the CD player
I start to relax and read
“Relax” what a foreign feeling
My mind starts to wonder
I see a rainforest, I hear the birds
I smell the sweet wet smell of running water
The sun glistens through the tree tops
I am intoxicated and sleepy
The music it lifts me up and lays
Me on the water to float peacefully
In the distance I hear a call
It gets stronger and louder
“Mum” “mum” “I am hungry”
Chants the 6 year old
The rain forest swirls and
Shrinks like backwards smoke
And rushes into my CD player
Damn Reality hits again!
