IF ONLY

 I thought I saw kangaroo kid

Hopping over the flowering beds;

 I  looked again and found it was

Nothing but a paper's shred.

 

 I thought I saw a mousey miss

Swirling and twirling her musical hips;

I looked again and found it was

 Nothing but a shadowy play.

 

What if it really had been,

A musical mouse or a naughty 'roo

Would they have let me enter their

 World, if only for a while;

 

And if they had, could I have gone?

What of the early wake up call

Of classes, games and practice halls!

 

 Early to bed and early to rise

 Sounds really very nice and wise

But, what is this life if full of care

 We have no time to stand and stare.
