A Carousel Ride (a bedtime poem by Guy Fulfer)

Hi there my little one, have you ever tried,

To take a carousel pony on a magical fantasy ride?

Just climb up in the saddle of a pony, and hold on tight.

Take a hold of the reins and let's go on a wondrous flight.



As the carousel gently spins and plays a beautiful tune.

We'll ride to far away places, visit the man in the moon,

And hitch a ride out to the brightest stars in the sky.

We'll go and sit on soft fluffy clouds, way up high

To look around and give our carousel ponies a rest

After a bit, we'll get back on the pony we like best,

You take that one my love, and I'll ride this one.

Get comfortable and we'll continue our carousel ride of fun

We'll go and spend time with the fishes, in the deep blue sea

Following brightly colored fish on our ponies, just you and me.

Maybe we'll go to a jungle and see a pretty waterfall,

And catch glimpses of monkeys, and lions, and giraffes, so tall.

Or we could go to the desert on our carousel horse,

And see spiders, snakes, and lizards, -all from a distance of course!

Then at last when we've seen all that there is to see,

We'll return home and set the carousel ponies free,

So all the boys and girls you know,

Can catch a pony of their own and go

To magical places they've never been.

Don't worry baby, we'll go again,

On a fantasy trip across the sky,

Riding carousel ponies, you and I.

But now my love it's time, for you to go to sleep.

So close your tired eyes, and count little sheep.

May all your best wishes

Always come true.

They usually do,

For little angels like you.

Goodnight my Little one, I LOVE YOU.
