Have you heard the latest?

That Joseph's such a dreamer — 
you know his bulb is dim
if he believes his brothers' sheaves
will one day bow to him.
But, have you heard the latest?
He's dreamed another one!
And now his dad is hopping mad
to kneel before his son.
That robe of many colors — 
oh, how it made us talk!
I heard he took a trip to look
to find his brothers' flock.
Well, Joseph never made it,
and, how his father mourned.
They found his robe along the road
​all bloodied, ripped and torn.
I've just heard he's in Egypt — 
and maybe jailed for life!
They say his fault was forced assault
against his master's wife.
You won't believe what I heard — 
now he's some sort of king!
He knew — it seems — the Pharaoh's dreams,
​well — dreams are Joseph's thing.
So, Joseph reigns in Egypt,
amazing — if its true!
Now where's that rain to grow our grain — 
does it seem dry to you?

[Joseph related his dream]: we were binding sheaves of corn out in the field when suddenly my sheaf rose and stood upright, while your sheaves gathered round mine and bowed down to it.
Genesis 37:7
