Passport To Adventure

I started writing nonsense
just to kill a little time,
when suddenly I noticed
that my nonsense seemed to rhyme.
-
So, then I started stretching,
testing, where my mind would go,
and found it opened doorways
to adventures high and low.
-
It was my magic carpet
and I'd journey far and wide,
I'd sit down with pen in hand
letting Wimsey be my guide.
-
I'd have a conversation
with a kitten or a dog
or, a one time mighty prince
who became a lowly frog.
-
I'd swim with all the fishes
at the bottom of the sea,
or soar aloft with eagles,
untethered, unbounded, free.
-
A passport to adventure
in real or fantasy land,
and the only price I pay
is to take my pen in hand.
