Adventure

We got an old basket A ball of strong twine And one or two things Of yours and mine We found an old blanket And very very soon We were flying up high In our homemade balloon Mr Skylark interrupted His wonderful song To wish Bon Voyage As we sailed along I doffed my hat To the astounded crow We very soon left A few miles below We moored for a time To the edge of a cloud And we looked around Both feeling so proud I filled your glass With sparkling wine That I’d hidden In a pocket of mine We raised a glass And drank a toast To old Father Sky Our wonderful host Then we decided After a roam It was time really We set off for home Where you washed your hair And I shook my head Before putting my blanket Back on my bed After a cup Of Camomile tea You set off home And I climbed a tree I waved to the lark The crow and the sky Then I went to sleep With both of my eyes
