Where Fantasy Begins

I climb imagination’s limbs

to where fantasy begins,

somewhere over the rainbow.

There are witches on brooms,

fairies sitting on mushrooms,

and spiders that talk.

I see a fairy princess,

watch a puppet’s nose grow inches,

speak wishes upon a star.

A beanstalk grows tall,

Alice shrinks so small,

a dish runs away with a spoon.

I hear four and twenty blackbirds sing,

discover who is lord of the ring,

hope jack can jump over the candlestick.

A kiss turns a toad into a prince.

voices sing a song of sixpence,

the monkey chased the weasel.

With a book in my hands

I can travel to far lands

while never leaving my tree top perch.
