A Child’s Imagination

Little boy Arn

Went to the barn

And saw a lot of hay

He went to the barn today

Yesterday he went to the sea

And set a few fishes free

From a net

A pirate he met

On his adventure

He would enter

The secret door 

That leads to the world above

In the sky

He kept an eye

On the pirate

Arn wanted to find it

But it seemed

Like it had been dreamed

He didn’t give up

He found the magical, golden cup

Which took you to fantasy creatures 

With unusual features

Like centaurs and elves

Who live in heavens and hells

Both lands have a library

The door handle made of a cherry

There are hills made of candy

Arn makes a friend named Sandy

The library set on fire

Higher than a wire

When the fire was finally out

People were up and about

Some going to the market

Buy the balloon! Buy it!

Someone yells

Some going to stay in hotels 

With rooms as beautiful as sunset 

Two men were pouring with sweat

While setting the table

For the royal couple

Now it is time to head back 

With a sack

Full of gold 

So lovely and cold

Let’s say goodbye

With a lifetime’s supply

Of friends and memories

Now he hurries

And goes forever
