Kung Pao Dreams
copyright 2003 David Dunbar

People act real funny
At the ?Kung Pao Dream?
They eat the Chinese buffet
Then do something extreme
But William the owner says
?They just enjoy The Dream?

The newspaper says
?There?s something in the food?
Some people quit their jobs
Or go back school
Or start writing a novel
Drop to their knees and propose
Or call an old friend, and start making amends

La da da da da? That?s a Kung Pao Dream

They don?t have those cookies
At the ?Kung Pao Dream?
Your fortune?s in the entrée
It?s an old recipe
A secret herb from his grandma
That he sprinkles on everything

In just a few bites
You?ll start to see
Your possible future
What your life could be
If you weren?t so afraid to do what you wanted
Then it?s up to you
To make it come true

La da da da da? That?s your Kung Pao dream

William looked out on the crowd
Said ?They?ve all been here before
They just want to dream and eat
And come back and dream some more.
They don?t need us anymore?

Early next morning
The ?Dream was gone
The regulars walked up
Then they shuffled along
Under a sign that read ?Space for Rent?
They saw a little short note that William wrote

La da da da da da da da da da ?Go live your Kung Pao Dream?
