Two Feet From Your Pillow,....

Two feet from your pillow and two feet from the floor,
Sits a little world of wonder, ready to explore.
Now, some say it's a cupboard and some say it's a door,
But I'll share a little secret, it's a world that offers more.

Think of all the things you love to eat, the games you love to play,
A world in where a Dinosaur will sing and dance all day.
Imagine chocolate covered mountains and fountains you can drink,
Where cartoon characters live all day, skating in a rink.

Clouds are huge marshmallows, and sweets just fall from trees.
There's Unicorns formation flying, being cheered by bugs on leaves.
There are Polar Bears with their coats off, swimming in a lake.
Even Dragons playing Hoopla, while eating lots of cake.

All around you, you hear music and laughter all the time,
A world that's made for playing, where everything is fine.
Anything you can imagine, it really does come true
Think of everything and anything, it's waiting there for you.

So close your eyes and say goodnight, I'll see you in the morning,
But unlike other children, I won't hear you snoring.
'Cause, Two feet from your pillow and two feet from the floor
Sits a little world of wonder, ready to explore.

Have you ever....?

Have you ever seen an Elephant try to skate or even bake a cake?
Have you ever seen an Elephant try that?

Have you ever seen an Octopus that rides on a bus and never makes a fuss?
Have you ever seen an Octopus do that?

What about a dancing Lion or a Giraffe who likes to Iron
Have you ever seen some animals like these?
A Tiger who likes reading or a snake that can't stop sneezing
How about a Hippo who loves his ham and cheese?

Have you ever seen a Crocodile who likes to dance especially in France?
Have you ever seen a Crocodile who likes that?

Have you ever seen a Buffalo drinking cups of tea while reading poetry?
Have you ever seen a Buffalo read that?

What about a piano playing Panda or a Goat that loves to Samba
Have you ever seen some animals like these?
A tortoise who likes dancing have you ever thought of asking?
All you need to do is just say please.

''Higgledee Ping''

This is the story of Higgledee Ping, who liked all his stories with a zest and a zing.

'What is your name?' said Higgledee Ping, as he met a young man who started to sing.

'My name is Booba Alooda-Alooda Mahoy. I love to sing, it fills me with joy!'

'Well, Booba Alooda-Alooda Mahoy, it's lovely to meet you, you're such a fine boy!'

On with the story of Higgledee Ping, who liked all his stories with a zest and a zing. 

'What is your name?' said Higgledee Ping, as he saw a big Zebra with lovely big wings.

'My name is Zazeeba Zazeeba Zaboo, I love to fly with my wings like a fly flys round poo!'

'Well, Zazeeba Zazeeba Zaboo, not sure your flying now seems such a fun thing to do!'

So on goes the story of Higgledee Ping, who liked all his stories with a zest and a zing.

'What is your name?' said Higgledee Ping, as he noticed a Badger with a strain in his grin.

'My name is Bertie La-barty La-hearty La-bee, I pop pops through trumpets, it feels me with glee!'

'Well, Bertie La-barty La-hearty La-bee a more disgusting sight I never did see!'

'It's now time for bed', said Higgledee Ping, as he talked to himself he decided to sing.

                      'Goodnight dear old Badger, you smelly old thing

                      And sleeptight Mr Zebra with lovely big wings.

                      Goodnight Booba Alooda you're such a good boy

                   And sleeptight little reader may your dreams fill with joy'.
