“God knows the secrets of your heart. He’ll tell them to you when you’re asleep.” ~ Bob Dylan
After a long hot day on the trail
riding through the desert
on his faithful camel, Kamal 🐪
Mr. Smiley Face settled in for the night
down that hobbit hole for hire
at the no star Barrow Creek Hotel.
Laying on a dirty stained sheet
Mr. Smiley Face started to count sheep
By the time he got to four 🐑🐑🐑🐑
he was fast asleep 😎 💤
. . . Perchance to dream . . .
of that Porcine Puppet Queen again.
Dressed up like Little Bo Peep
A vision of loveliness, whispering sweet
in that husky, yet suspiciously falsetto
voice …
“My roast is so moist.
Come taste the apple sauce.
Don’t go saving my bacon
for a rainy day.
I’m all honey glazed
and ready to play.
Be the hot mustard
in my ham sandwich.
What do you say, big boy?
This coy Little Miss Piggy 🐷
longs to be your toy.”
With Miss Piggy on top
Mr. Smiley Face was being
hard ridden and spurred on 🥵
as by a relentless riding crop
“Pigs will fly!”
He heard her cry
in a race to the mountain top
Just as they reached
that distant summit
something went pop! 😲 🕶️
Mr. Smiley Face felt a rush
so warm and pleasant 😁
he hoped it would never stop
And it does seem
that even in a dream
an Emoji can blush
as Miss Piggy looked at him
whispering …
“Thanks for the present 🎁
I’m now a convert
to the joy of Emoji-ism.
You truly are becoming a real boy
Now wake up you pervert!”
With those parting words
and a kiss of her snout 🐽 💋
she gave Mr. Smiley Face
an almighty slap
Enough to knock any Emoji out
But being already asleep
it had quite the opposite effect
as he sat bolt upright
in some disress
Feeling a bit sticky and wet
And with a big red welt
appearing upon on his face
It was just now dawning
upon Mr. Smiley Face
that nothing would ever be the same
since those aliens from outer space
stuffed him full of hot air
and artificial fluff
to give him a real taste of substance
… In a three dimensional sense
As Mr. Smiley Face lay in bed
now wide awake and pondering
he reached for his ying yangs
(his 3-D prescription sunglasses)
The last time he had put them on
was when he saw
that winged apparition
at the Devil’s Marbles Hotel
Was it an angel?
He just couldn’t tell
Back home in Emoji Land
there was only one angel
His name was Angelo 👼
And he just hung around
the Emo Jo Gallery for show
Especially around Christmas time 🎄
So …
if Mr. Smiley Face’s Ray Ban
Shades of Enlightenment 🕶️
gave him a glimpse 👁️ 👁️
into the Third Dimension
when back home in the Second
now that he’s here in the Third
what exactly were they showing him?
There couldn’t possibly be anything
beyond this Third Realm?
Could there?

I think that’s what’s at the heart of
the Emoji’s struggle for liberation
from the all manipulating Disney

seeks to control all media. You’ll
soon be relying on Disney Plus +
