A FUNTASTIC TALE BY MONKEY TAIL


For my dearest grand-daughter

A fantasy wish for me and you,
To dance the whole night through,
To rent a clown and laugh all night,
Ride star beams that shine so bright,
And play with snowflakes as they fall,
Live our dreams each one and all.

A fantasy wish for me and you,
To find a forest and sip witches brew,
Spot little bo beep on a floating cloud,
Fly past superman no doubt,
Chase a meat ball covered in cheese,
Fly a kite to Mars and back with ease.

My fantasy wish for me and you,
To shed happy tears, more than a few,
Spend a day at school and graduate,
Fly in a sports car, at some future date,
Contact aliens with a megaphone,
Never unturned should we leave a stone.

My fantasy wish for you and me
Invite garden fairies to afternoon tea,
Go to Disney Land, kidnap Micky Mouse,
Spin and spill your magic, let it bounce,
And last of all, please don’t forget,
To bring along your safety net.

Jennifer, I suspect you are the safety net. Very cute set of fantasies. Can we tell you like having grandchildren? She is lucky in that you have such a fun imagination. There are a lot of great things to do together. My kids chose to not have kids of their own. So, this is something I can only imagine myself.

This is a delightful 'funtastic' poem that your granddaughter will definitely treasure for the rest of her life, Jenny. I only have one grandchild, and we have built a great relationship these past 19+yrs. (yes, that safety net could come in use at some point!] ~ Warm regards and hugs my friend // paul
