SLEEPY TOWN
Sleepy town Is very nice. For breakfast you have straw-berry ice; At dinner there is apple foam, A thing you seldom get at home: At tea-time, in the Land of Dreams, They give you cups of chocolate creams; For supper there is never milk, But pinky peaches, soft as silk. Sleepy town’s not very far, Just in the heart of a silver star. Y'ou must try with might and main To catch the children's fastest train. The engine-driver is a hare; The railway guard is a baby bear. Yawning twice will pay the fare. Shut your eyes, and you'll be there. Marjory Rovce.
