Mangosteen In My Dreams, Mangosteen In My Dreams


I wrote/sang this song for Dairy Queen when I lived in Reston, Virginia:

Dairy Queen
in my dreams!
Dairy Queen
in my dreams. . . .

The closest Dairy Queen to our apartment was a small trek.
But even with three or four other fro-yo/gelato/Ben & Jerry's type options,
Dairy Queen was my muse,
and I needed a sundae.
Like NEEDED one.

Mangosteens aren't in that category,
but it works well in this song.

And they are a kind of dreamy fruit.
A hard nut-like shell,
but inside are soft, sweet segments
ready to explode in your mouth.

KABOOM!
