The Answer is "Antidepressants"
A Poem
I dreamt of cucumberous folks
Who referred to each other as “blokes.”
Yes British cucumbers,
A townful I numbered.
Such creative thoughts sleeping can coax!
Yet, weirder it quickly became:
The ‘cumbers’ relations I blame.
These pickled cowboys
Rode on crackers for joys.
Not to tell the tale would be a shame.
So cousins, both pickled and non,
Ran ‘round in my head ‘til the dawn.
I woke with a grin;
Such a dream has no twin!
What a sleep! Now, what drugs was I on?

The Light Turns
It's Tuesday 7:13 a.m. A cold and clear November morning awaits Ray on his morning commute. Ray rubs his hands together in the front seat of his Subaru. He turns the air temperature up, but keeps the air on low until the air warms up. He looks at the backup camera screen and reverses the Subaru out of his driveway onto Trimble Road.

The poem ends with a tongue-in-cheek musing about what could have inspired such a dream, making for a charming and entertaining read. The author's vivid use of language and imaginative storytelling make this poem a joy to experience.
Fantastic and hilarious. Was not sure what to expect at all but I thoroughly enjoyed this
Any poem that exploits the rhyming potential of the word "cucumberous" gets my vote!
Nice 😊
I don't like a whole lot of poetry, and I LOVED this. Thanks for the pickle chuckles.
Good one.
Cipollino's universe got expanded :-D
Hahah this is great. Gave me a good laugh - abstract, creative and fun to read 😂

A wonderful poem and the illustration to boot!
Not sure where this was headed but it was a fun ride!
As a chic on Prozac, I respect the cucumbers. Some days, I feel like a few chopped tomatoes and servings of feta cheese away from an awesome Greek Salad. 😆
