The Land of Purple Thunder

When the world is cross and dreary There’s a place to calm the weary I find the secret door down under To seek the land of purple thunder On sands of time, the beach does lie With ponds and castle frogs near by Who serve the queen of hourglass She chirps to let each hour pass I see a harpsichord that sings Just as I come upon my wings A gliding sail on silver seas I scale the mountain tops with ease I’m greeted by some Flutterflies And Stumblebees who grace the skies I watch out for the flower sots With whom a Tipsymoth now plots I dine on Angel cake delight As Psalm trees sway and chant good night With Puffydogs, I join the crowds Who ate too many puffy clouds Then to rest with Maids of grass In silken shade of summer sass To dream of how I’ve spent my day Inside this imagery parfait
