The Magic Summer Holiday

One sunny Summer, long ago,
there was a little boy named Joe
who dreamed of going on a holiday.

 

But his Mum just could not afford
to have a holiday abroad
on the small salary that her job paid.

 

So Joe, a magic ticket drew;
one for a holiday for two
with crayon and with pencil and with pen.

 

And suddenly, to his surprise,
the ticket, right before his eyes,
became a travel agent fairy then.

 

She opened up her magic case,
then instantly, through time and space,
Joe and his Mum were whisked far, far away.

 

Transported to a magic land
of sun and sea and golden sand
where they both had a magic holiday.

 

In a magic hotel they stayed
run by unicorns and mermaids
where every wish they wished for would come true.

 

And they had lots of fun, besides
like taking magic carpet rides
and feeding dragons at the magic zoo.

 

Then when they wanted to go home
a carriage driven by a gnome
and drawn by flying horses took them there.

 

And though the holiday was through
the travel agent fairy drew

a new ticket and said, "Come back next year".
