I had tea with a dragon
And lunch with a mouse.
I've lived in a seashell
Instead of a house
Once I even went diving
With dolphins and whales
From the deck of a ship with
Sun on her sails.
I danced in the forest,
Flew to the moon,
Soared across town
In a hot-air balloon.
Adventure is never as hard as it looks
You'll find it, like me ---
In the pages of books.
