The Magic Forest (Part One)
I've seen a Green Lion and Blue Kangaroo,
If you want to come with me I'll show them to you.
It won't take a long time for us to get there,
I've got sweets for the journey that we both can share.
But let us not tarry, let us not be slow,
We'll need to get going, if we mean to go.
So what are you thinking, what do you say?
If you want to come with me I'm going today.
We'll cross the Green Meadow where Buttercups grow,
Then on up the hill is the best way I know.
We'll go past the Barn and over the stile,
Then we'll sit and drink cool Lemonade for a while.
When we are both ready, we'll set off once more,
We'll really have great fun, if you come, I'm sure.
So make up your mind if you do want to come,
For we could be a while, so we'll have to tell Mum.
She won't mind us going, if we're going there,
She'll probably be happy we're out of her hair.
I've told her before of this magical place,
She looked at me sideways, a smile on her face.
She says I'm a dreamer, that I always dream,
She's happy with that thought, or so it would seem.
So all that we need is for you to agree,
Then we can get going, and be back for Tea.
If you come you will see things, you'll never forget,
I can take you to see a Gnu I once met.
He's really quite friendly, and very astute,
He speaks fluent Urdu, and plays on a Lute.
Then there's the Hippo, who's thoughtful and quiet,
Who will only eat Chocolate, when he's on a diet.
I can show you all this, and a jolly sight more,
But you need to decide that you're coming for sure.
You needn't be worried, or even afraid,
When I show you the house that the Crocodile made,
If we're very respectful, and don't make a noise,
He might let us go in, and get out all his toys.
He's very religious, and prays quite a lot,
But it's mainly for Dinner, and preferably hot.
There are wonderful things there, for us both to see,
So what do you think, are you coming with me?
Did I mention the Eagle? and what's in his nest?
If I hadn't of seen it I'd never have guessed.
It's fully equipped with a wide screen T.V,
It's got Broadband, and Blueray, and set for 3D.
It's got fifty five channels, from which he can choose,
