Our Castle

Tomorrow morning we'll wake up
at whatever time we wish.
We won't have to go to work
because we'll be filthy rich.

When we leave the bedroom we'll find
that we now live in a 100-room castle,
with robot servants to do the work,
so cleaning up won't be a hassle.

It will be on top of a hill
just like an eagle's aerie.
We'll have a beautiful sculpture garden
as well as a massive library.

There will be suits of armor
polished and on display, 
and also a forbidding moat
to keep Jehovah's Witnesses away.

We'll have stained glass windows
and gargoyles -- can't forget about them,
because really, what would be the purpose
of having a castle without them?

Let's be off to bed now
and close our sleepy eyes.
All of this will come to pass
tomorrow when we rise. - Jeff Barnes
