The power of imagination in a young mind can be wondrous; believing in becoming anything, even invisible.
“WHAT WOULD YOU SAY? By Michele Lourie
What would you say if a ghost you saw?
I’d speak to him sternly, “Now, out that door
You go, and never, never come back.”
Go, go, go, go!
What would you say to a great big giant?
“You can’t frighten me, I’d be quite defiant,
Not like that beanstalk fellow called Jack.”
No, no, no, no!
What would you say to an octopus grabby?
“Don’t try tickling me or I’ll become crabby,
And tell Father Neptune to give you the sack.”
Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa!
What would you say to a crocodile yawning?
“Go back to bed, now that’s my last warning.
Don’t think that I’ll be your morning snack.”
Oh, oh, oh, oh!
BUT…….
What if one morning all four came to stay?
“I’d pick up my legs and run far, far, away
Out the door, down the beanstalk and over the sea,
Where they definitely, absolutely couldn’t find me.”
