One day when I was
Walking in my garden
I saw a white rabbit
With a heavy-looking burden
I just casually asked it
Oh poor thing, is that heavy?
And it answered! In proper English
No dear it's not, and I'm quite steady
I was surprised,
Very very
And more surprised
When it offered me a berry!
Then it led me to a hole
Big enough for an elephant!
He took my hand and jumped into the hole
And just as we landed, I saw a skeleton!
Then rabbit said
Welcome to Fantasy Valley!
Then hand in hand, we ran towards a shop
And saw a board which said Tea and Snack Alley!
We went there and had a cup
Of chocolate lemon tea
And then we ate honey chilli cake
And a purple strawberry!
After we ate, the rabbit said
It's time for you to go
And whoosh! opened the ground beneath us
And we were home, behold and lo!
My eyes were closed in the come-back trip
And when I opened them
I saw the rabbit smiling at me
Then in a blink, he disappeared, leaving a sparkling gem!
