Sense Sonnet - Chiller

 Wake Awake

I had a dream that I did fall

From a ladder and hit my head.

Passersby, my body did haul

Back home, thinking that I was dead.

My wife told them to set me on

The kitchen table, and then told

Them to leave, and then they were gone.

My wife went to the oven cold

And lit it up, then said to me,

"I know that you would want a wake,"

"With a fancy meat dish to be."

"I need to borrow some meat to bake."

I did wake up just as my wife

Approached me with a carving knife.
