'Just after nine'

         I fell through the grass from beneath my feet

         Tickling toes smelling so sweet

         coming out on the floor

         with rabbits galore,

           scattered leaves

fly about,

the clock on the tree begins to shout

    'just after nine'

everything stops paused for tea time and rewind

crunching through twigs, bracken and shrubs, badgers

and hares peep out with their cubs.

          Take a giant leap into the leafy hollow,

          Where leaves change to feathers burst

          From a puffy pillow, open a door, which appears in the floor

          To soft fluffy teds tumbling evermore.

Hold on fast, to a sloping roof and climb through the clouds

with a flurry and a hoof,

two giant eyes with a cheeky pink mole,

gaze down their nose as smaller I grows.

I reach out a hand to lips that are pursed

But blow me a breath and I'm a cloud burst,

blurred at the edge, 

Quenching a thirst,

falling zipping through space,

partaking a taste

zapped back zoomed a kid in a mo'

Bubble, glug, bubble here I go...

instantly frothy whipped creamy shake

Just after nine for coffee and cake

just wonder why ever we bother to take

a look at the time coz surely 

every time's fine

 and not just then

 'just after nine'
