To Get True Freedom

To be truly free one must unshackle themselves. First the hand shackles followed by leg shackles. Feel them in turn flying open and free. Now try flapping your arms feel yourself leaving the ground there you go you can now fly. Try a few loop the loops and spins see Of course you can. Look, look over there its Pukka Simba bounds over Pukka he cries lets have an adventure. Oh yes how spiffing an idea lets set course south by east looping round Zanzibar on the way and then on to the Serengeti So off they set and arrive an hour or so before dark. We sat eating and drinking under sparkling stars. We laughed and laughed till bedtime AT dawn we set off for the distant mountains Quickly we were above them as we landed a mighty voice said who dares trespass here on my land an enormous elephant rounded the corner. He told us his name was Tembo he wanted to own a special blood red stone stolen by the pirates of Zanzibar A haggled old witch said any one wanting the maiden of the moon must get the pearl of beauty from the pirates for her. Wanting to help the beautiful moon maiden and Tembo they put their head together and came up with a good plan to brew a powerful potion to put them to sleep til we meet again and we will take a break for another day
