I dreamt a cardboard rocket ...

a poem by Sandra Harper, St Swithun’s Nursery

I dreamt a cardboard rocket ...
It took me to the moon ...
I was gone for over seven years ...
And settled there quite soon ...

The aliens there were friendly ...
And helped me build a house ...
We made it out of moon rocks ...
And I lived there with my mouse ...

But after a while I got homesick ...
And began to miss old earth ...
So I got back in my rocket ...
And shot down to the turf !!!
