The Tour of My Imagination

by Aahana Roy aged 13

When I’m in a boring class at school
where my mind refuses to stay,
I gently close my eyes
and it takes me far away.
I pretend I’m a pirate,
and I sail the seven seas!
I pretend to be an explorer next,
and then I’m chased by bees.
Suddenly I’m in Paris,
staring in awe at the Eiffel Tower.
Then the ground shakes and I fall in Egypt?
I see the pyramids and Sphinx lying on the sand in all their might and power.
Then I climb onto a cloud and I’m off to the Amazon.
I’m attacked by many different insects.
I wish I had repellent on.
After seeing the vast river,
I’m teleported to Australia.
There were so many kangaroos,
but sadly just one koala.
And last but not least,
I jumped and I was in India.
The Taj Mahal, Qutub Minar, and so many temples.
There was so much to see here.
At last, I heard a shout,
and my dream fell apart.
I found my teacher glaring at me.
I was asleep from the start!
