My Chair
One day I made myself a chair
That could take me anywhere.
I sat on it this morning
and went to yesterday
Time, you see, can be bent,
Off I went,on my chair I leant*
I ended up freezing at my goal,
The chair had taken me to the North Pole.
I stood up and walked around for a bit,
To try to make some sense of it.
A Polar Bear came from it's lair,
Looking for something to eat.
Oh No, I cried and jumped back in my seat.
Then, before I knew where I was,
The chair had took me to the Land of OZ.
The cowardly Lion and Tin Man were there,
Dorothy, Toto and Scarecrow without a care,
A couple of clicks and I was off agen*.
I landed in Kansas and met Aunty Em.
'twas but a dream for Dottie, I know,
The chair decided , it was time to go,
And hustled me off again for another flight,
It was back home, where I did alight.
I opened my eyes,'twas but a dream in the night.
*my new words??
