The Land of Lets Pretend

Mummy tucks me in bed at night,
And switches on my little blue light.
I have many teddy bears
surrounding my bed,
But I always sleep with
Princess-Red.

As I close my eyes I can see,
A whole new world ahead of me.
Where lollipops 'grow' on brown toffee roads,
And chocolates are stuck onto big Bill Boards.

Each blade of grass has a
honeydew fruit drop,
Worms and frogs eat them
non-stop!
Flowers grow on black
toadstools,
Or near colourful bubblegum pools!

I'd love to live forever, in this strange dreamland,
I'm sure you would crave to visit.
So when Mummy tucks you in bed at night,
Fly to the LAND-OF-LET'S-PRETEND!
