A Strange Dream


I dreamt that I was swimming naked in the sea

Using a flotation stick to aid my buoyancy

This was not required as I am a strong swimmer

There was a floating hotel about two hundred metres offshore

I had decided to swim to the hotel and then swim back

However when I reached the hotel a couple called me across

They were enjoying refreshments on a low platform

I recognised the woman as Eliza Simmonds

She was a popular English actress mainly in period dramas

Eliza asked me to join them for drinks

It was she rose I noticed that she was as naked as I was

I climbed on to the platform and was handed a towel

Later I enquired of her mysterious companion

And was assured that she was totally alone

She had watched me on the beach

And knew that we would be good friends
