In the corner of the room there lived a chair,
it was plain and old with no pattern nor flair.
But Your Child knew it was a magical chair,
you could think of a place and it would take you there.
He sat on the cushion and closed his eyes,
and prepared himself for a wondrous surprise.
He imagined the places

A shoal of fish swam over his head.
And a treasure chest with jewels aglow.

A pink octopus peeked from its hiding place.
But the huge blue whale was his favourite of all.
The magic chair was sailing free,
The magic chair would swoop and tumble,
and Your Child

There were lots of animals hidden around.
Then two parrots on a branch way up high.
There was a spider, some ants, and a snake, long and green.
and a little tiger cub that came to say hello.
The magic chair was flying free,
Joy and excitement in the air,
and Your Child
To see all the children in this magical place.
A hook-a-duck stall and a coconut shy.

Your Child chose candyfloss from the assortment of treats.
but the merry-go-round was Your Child's favourite ride.
The magic chair was flying free,
The magic chair would dive and roll,
and Your Child
"This is an igloo," said a kind Eskimo.
But Your Child saw a wise old owl sitting in a tree.

He had long bristly whiskers and eyes black as coal.
and right next to Your Child sat a fluffy Arctic hare.
The magic chair was flying free,
On to another wonderful place,
and Your Child
He could see many planets – Saturn, Jupiter and Mars.
"I am glad I have this special helmet," he thought.

And planet Earth shone with its deep blue seas.
and a little green alien, who had travelled so far.
The magic chair was flying free,
After all the magical places he'd flown,
Your Child

Your Child and the chair settled back on the floor,
he opened his eyes and smiled at what he saw.
Fantastic toys from the places he'd been,
The tiger cub, the whale, and the alien so green.
Your Child will always remember the landscapes he saw,
And now he was eager to see so much more.
He will always cherish that old magic chair,
Maybe tomorrow he'll visit new places...
