Posted March 4, 201015 yr He dreamed a dream in time gone by, When cheese was cheap And bread worth eating He dreamed that nuts would always keep He dreamed that Cat would be forgiving Then he was young and unafraid And cheese was ate and pooed and wasted There were no crackers to be had No snacks untried, no cheese untasted But the children came at night With their voices soft as thunder As they eat the larder bare And they turn your feast to nought! He took a pencil in his paw He filled balloons with lungs a-straining He took the deepest breath you ever saw And he was gone into the night! And still he dreams he'll meet the moon That they will live the years together But there are dreams that cannot be And outer-space he could not weather He had a dream his life would be So different from this hell he's living Endless floating, so it seems Now space has killed the dream he dreamed.
March 4, 201015 yr Awww, that's sweeeeet! Words and bricks of course. The apple core and the matchbox are particularly nice! Very inspiring! Cheers, ~ Christopher
March 4, 201015 yr What a lovely MOC SlyOwl. And I'm surprised it comes from a blood-and-gore lover like you. The apple core is amazing and the third picture is great. I really like the scale at which you've built the surroundings. He dreamed a dream in time gone by, Image of Susan Boyle comes to mind. Make it go away...
March 4, 201015 yr What a lovely little story. It's nice to see something dreamy like this for a change - thanks, SlyOwl! I love the balloons, sash window and drainpipe scene. Image of Susan Boyle comes to mind. Make it go away... I've got the original London Cast Recording version going through my mind - much more serene. Miserables ON!
March 6, 201015 yr Author Thanks guys, glad you like it Image of Susan Boyle comes to mind. Make it go away... I found it quite moving... but it's not everyone's taste Miserables ON! I'm a big fan too
March 6, 201015 yr Fantastic work SlyOwl! Clear storytelling, and the sense of scale is pulled off excellently, especially in the last scene. Did you write the poem?
March 6, 201015 yr An amazing moc Sly! I love the poem going along with the models telling the story, truly beautiful work, most excellent!
March 7, 201015 yr Brilliant work Sly. The pencil, the window, the curtains, the swing set, the apple core, the knife in the knife block(?) the candle (especially like the glow around the candle), awwwww all so awesome and so very clever.
March 7, 201015 yr AWESOME and well detailed MOC 'SlyOwl' - really awesome ! The apple core - clever, sweet matchbox, beautiful verse to go with it ! Great balloon shot too ! Excellent 'SlyOwl' and I'm a conformist! !
March 7, 201015 yr Really well done Sly, my favourite is the last scene. I thought at first the building was pictured outside, well done.
March 7, 201015 yr Really nice, I feel it should be front paged. It seems like one of those old time cartoons.
March 7, 201015 yr Author Thanks again Did you write the poem? Yes, although it's just a parody of I dreamed a dream from Les Miserables, so it wasn't too difficult. The knife in the knife block(?) Yeah, it came out smaller than it should have - lack of brown!
