Today's word is "pratfall" ... PRAT-Fawl ... a fall in which one lands on the buttocks, often regarded as comical or humiliating; a humiliating blunder or defeat.
Not
Do you fly in your dreams?
Or swim down the halls?
Stand before others,
Wearing nothing at all?
Does your hair stand on end?
Does your skin turn deep blue?
Do your friends all laugh,
And say they don't know you?
Do you run out of money,
Or take a pratfall?
Does your dream dog ignore you,
Whenever you call?
Are you happy to wake up,
And see with relief,
That the world of illusions
Has gone like a thief?
