Parkland Adventures

Down the road from my house is a special park

Just right for a teeny, tiny six year old like me,

I begged Mummy last night to take me there

She promised this morning we’d go out to see.

***

It was only a tiny space, with perfect flowers

And the mossy green grass like a comfy bed,

Where mummy has decided to lay and read

But I know, given time, she’ll sleep instead.

***

I bide my time, waiting, watching with glee

Until I hear Mummy give out a soft snore,

That’s my cue to begin my little adventure

As I peer under toadstools, flowers galore.

***

What am I doing, you may very well wonder

I’m intending to make new friends, you’ll see,

I found Mr Snail as he was meandering along

So we sit awhile chatting, when I see Mr Bee.

***

Mr Snail is asking about my Minnie Mouse doll

Enthralled in meeting her, as he hears her story,

He then calls over Miss Ladybug to join the party

And we listen to her daydreams in all their glory.

***

I sit leaning against Mr Snail’s large, hard shell

As Miss Ladybug explores his shell grown flowers,

Suddenly she whistles beautifully, as is her way

Two butterflies flutter over in colourful showers.

***

We laugh, we giggle, oh it is ever so much fun

Until I see Mummy rolling over, about to wake,

I stroke each of my new friends, say thank you

And scoot on over to give my Mummy a shake.

***

We then head on home as we talk and chatter

I tell her about all my friends and their narration,

She laughs and tells me how happy I do sound

As she explains that she loves my imagination.
