 A Magic Book

 

 

I wait for them to go to sleep,

Sometimes late past midnight,

I go to my most secret place,

And read by candle light.

 

There are so many worlds to see,

Like Bear in the Big Blue House,

I close my eyes and pick one out,

This time it's Robin Hood Mouse.

  

I open up the magic book,

A blast of light comes out,

There I see from way above,

The mice just going about.

  

I see the dibbuns playing around,

Beside some food a cook,

Right now I can't say anymore,

Since Dominic hasn't finished the book.

Welcome to Apricotpie!

I like this poem.  I think I noticed some references to Brian Jaques.

Wow... so many "Claire/Clare"s now.  Welcome!  I used to watch Bear in the Big Blue House... it's been a while.  Kind of miss it.  Anyway, good poem; it rhymed very nicely.  :-)

For some reason, this also reminds me of a fairytale I once read, about a goblin and a student and a magic book.  I wish I could remember what it was called.
