Poetry by Jamie McKenzie

Story time


Will you read me a story
Please
Ms. Librarian?
A fabulous bedtime story
That sparks my curiosity
Awakens my sense of wonder
And sets my head a-spinning
With dancing images
Magical dreams
And a menagerie of cats
Dogs
Giraffes
And antelope
Lions
Tigers
And Winnie the Pooh
Owl
Frog and Toad
Along with Wendy
And Peter Pan

And then
Just as my eyes are closing
And I am drifting off to sleep
Let that bathrobe drop to the floor
Climb in alongside me
Wrap your loving arms around me
And speed me off to Neverland
Ecstasy
And Heaven
Once and for all
