Imagination meets the real world. By Steve Hanson

I’m standing on a chair!

I’m standing on a chair!

I don’t know why Mom’s worried

I’m just standing on a chair!

You’d think she’d be freaked out

By the lion in my room

But seeing shoes on fabric

Is what makes her fume.

I bath with toxic jellyfish.

I ride a crocodile.

But if I’m on the sofa then

Her mood becomes hostile.

I often sleep with scorpions

And wrestle with a bear.

I don’t know why Mom’s worried.

I’m just standing on a chair!
