the
dream
he
held
for such a long time

and
that
dream
finally did materialize

he
presently
sits
in the seat of power

yet
his
memory
is seriously compromised

the
dream
job
requires a sharpness of mind

oft
he
can't
string
the words of a sentence together

his
minders
prepare
carefully
scripted notes for him to read

anything
he
says
that's
extempore
is full of gaffes

the
dreamer's
dream
will be a nightmare

as
citizens
of
the
country
are well awake

to
the
old
man's
incoherent babble
