Chase the dreams you dare not speak of out loud.
There’s a place in my heart, in a corner so small,
Where the beats are fast, and ideas are tall
A council exists, though hardly invoked
Where dreams are filed and ideas are stoked.

Its head, made of china, Mr McTea,
Types notes on bread and six-year-old cheese
He stamps every wish with a raspberry seal.
Then tosses out those that fail to appeal

Mr McTea has with him a Cheshire Cat
With a grin that disarms and a tall, magic hat
His hat recites the bold thoughts that many misplace
Then shines on the ones that should be embraced

So when your mind is rife with the seeds of doubt
And the words of the world are way too loud
Just whisper the truths that you dare not reveal
McTea will find them. He knows how you feel.
