Books

All my life I’ve loved

Relaxing and having a look,

Inside the magical pages

Of many wonderful books.

I would go to Hogwarts,

Make potions, cast spells.

Poor Neville Longbottom

Never did them well.

Or perhaps I’d go

Through a dusty old wardrobe.

In Narnia the snow swirls

Like a shaken snowglobe.

Through a hidden door

To a garden full of roses;

It’s full of Magic,

Young Mary supposes.

I could visit Miss Minchin’s.

I’d meet Sara and Becky.

I feel sorry for them.

They’re very unlucky.

In Wonka’s chocolate factory

There’s plenty to eat.

I really wish that I had

A year’s supply of sweets.

I’d visit the prairie,

To find a small house,

Where once Laura’s Pa’s hair

Was cut by a mouse.

I might visit Wonderland

Though I’d like to keep my head!

All these worlds you can explore

From the comfort of your bed.

So don’t turn on your phone tonight,

Open a book instead.
