The Tour of My Imagination

When I’m in a boring class at school

where my mind refuses to stay,

I gently close my eyes

and it takes me far away.

I pretend I’m a pirate,

and I sail the seven seas!

I pretend to be an explorer next,

and then I’m chased by bees.

Suddenly I’m in Paris,

staring in awe at the Eiffel Tower.

Then the ground shakes and I fall in Egypt?

I see the pyramids and Sphinx lying on the sand

in all their might and power.

Then I climb onto a cloud and I’m off to the Amazon.

I’m attacked by many different insects.

I wish I had repellent on.

After seeing the vast river,

I’m teleported to Australia.

There were so many kangaroos,

but sadly, just one koala.

And last but not least,

I jumped and I was in India.

The Taj Mahal, Qutub Minar, and so many temples.

There was so much to see here.

At last, I heard a shout,

and my dream fell apart.

I found my teacher glaring at me.

I was asleep from the start!
