Harried of Musical Warfare Lately? (Or, I Think I Need To Relegate My TV Show Intake To the Afternoons.)

I had two dreams last night,
that a mob of secret agents and I
traveled through time 
and had to dress up in long black robes and ties 
and vanquish an army of undead Death Eaters on horses 
by crowding into a puppet auditorium
and singing insults at them.  

After fourteen hours, we won.

Then everybody shook hands
and threw confetti.

It was a war so famous that the people in that land 
(it was a paper cutout version of Slovakia, I heard) 
printed transcripts of it on cereal boxes.

  1. I like the last stanza a lot. *in a british accent* A lot, a lot.

  2. Haha, thank you!
    This wasn't technically a poem, however.
