his
very morning, when the sun was shining bright,
I asked my loving mother: "Where do people go at night?"
She said to me "Don't worry, dear; tomorrow the answer will
be crystal clear."
So I asked my father: "Daddy, where do people go at night
when the sun gets low?"
And he answers me "My little girl, tomorrow you will know."
I decided to have just one more try.
I asked this elder brother of mine;"Hey, do you know where
people go,
Once Daddy starts snorkelling through his nose?"
He answered "Don't you worry, it's where everyone goes,
And Dad's not snorkelling, he's snoring you know."
Then that very night, when I was in my bed,
A funny little voice started whispering in my head.
The voice said "Hey! Please come and play!
In the Land of Nod we'll dance the night away!"
So I went to sleep, and then I saw
Flowers and trees and meadows galore!
Suddenly a pixie appeared beside me
He was dressed all in green, his eyes sparkled like the sea.
He asked me "Do you like our land? I must say myself, it
looks rather grand!"
I had to agree. Said I "It's a lovely sight to see!"
The pixie said "Then come and play with me!"
So we played and played till the sun's golden rays
Shone into my bedroom in a haze.
And when I awoke I was back at my house,
And in my hands I held my little toy mouse.
So then, after breakfast, I called my father,
My brother, and of course, my loving mother.
I told them "Guess what?! I've been to the Land of Nod!"
And all they could do was smile.
