I Had A Dream+

From the album Camping With Dads Buy Now

Stu:      I know you kids learn from us Dads, ... but us Dads 

            learn from you kids too.

P:         That was great Stuart!  I love that song.

All:       (others agree)

Ricky:   Here's a hug Dad.  I love you.

Stu:      Aww, thanks. Love you too.

Chad:   C'mon guys, ... let's go finish setting up our tents for tonight.

Gerald: Got mine set up already.  I'm gonna take a nap!

Norm:  We'll go do ours too.  Andre', will you check and see if the 

            sleeping bags are dry yet?  And Bailey youcan help me with the tent.

P:         And I'm gonna sit here in the sun (yawn), and take a nap too!  

            You know what the shoe said to the hat?

Norm:  What?

P:         You go on ahead, and I'll follow, ... on foot.

Norm:  Peter, ... just stop that! (laughs)

P:         Good nite Norman!  (sighs, ... yawns, ... starts to snore)

            (dream harp plays as Peter's dream is interrupted by MLK)

MLK:    Perhaps it's time for us to set up our tent Peter.

P:         (waking up, confused). Wha, ... what?  Who are, ... I know you!! 

            Your Martin Luther King!  Wha, ...what are you doing here?   

            Ooohhhh.  Okay, ... this isn't real, ....

MLK:    This isn't real?

P:         No. No, ... I'm having a dream!

MLK:    I have a dream!

P:         No. No. No. ... Don't start that.  This is my dream.  We're on 

            a camping trip, and I must've drifted off after lunch and, ... 

            you're not really here.

MLK:    (disbelief) Seems to me like I'm here.  With you and Stuart and Gerald,

             and Norman, Chad and the kids!

Chad:   Yeah, ... we're all here Peter

P:         You, ... you all can see Martin Luther King?  Standing right here?

Stu:      Yeah.  You okay?

Norm:  He helped carry my djembe!

Leon:   And he brought chocolate for Some-Mores later!!

Chad:   He said he was sharing the tent with you.

P:         Really?  So, ... you're really Dr. King?

MLK:    Yes.  That's me.  You seem confused.

P:         Well, I am, a bit.  I'm an old white guy, probably racist y'know, but,

             ... is that why you're in my dream?

MLK:    (laughing) No!  I know the whole system is racist, Peter.

Norm:  That's right brother!

Gerald: And we're all working on changing that!

Quin:   Grandad's got his 'Skin Color' song!

MLK:    I know all about his song, .... sung it myself, at many a service!!

P:         Wait, ... you know my song?

MLK:    It's a wonderful song!  Let's sing it right now!

P:         Ahhh, .... but, ... but you, ...

Kids:    Come on!

Chad:   We'll sing it with you!

Andre: I'll push button on the sonical digital musical song box!

P:         What? That's in my dream too!?

Quin:   Come on!

P:         Okay! (*BOING!!)
