So she said to me . . .
I did it! I’m here in New York City,
finally in the Easter Parade.
Cost a bundle for the flight.
But I looked out the plane’s window
and saw the Archangel Gabriel.
A real added plus to the trip.
Couldn’t afford a real Easter bonnet
so I resurrected my Christmas wreath.
Tied it under my chin with pink ribbons,
made it look more spring-like.
Everyone said I just glowed.
Best part of all, was the tinsel.
It framed my face in a sparkly fringe!

NAPOWRIMO day 6! Today’s prompt: try writing with a breezy conversational tone, while including at least one thing that could only happen in a dream.
