Compendium

The door opened and a big fluffy dice jumped out    
And said trust me all, and rolled around the floor      
I am one it said but if I change my mind I'll shout      
The monsoon has brought the snakes out of their lair      
      
Ivy grew so fast and blocked the exit cave      
Just ahead a was a long ladder made out of wood      
And dice said do not be timid we must be brave      
For the boa constrictors are up to no good      
     
For we must climb up to the top      
Our first quest is not to slip or drop      
Trolls with slimy fingers green poke out your eyes      
With poisonous pet frogs in cages by their side      
     
They picked up dice who now was six      
We must sing a climbing song      
    "scratch your head      
    poke out your tongue      
   climb that ladder rung by rung      
   the rain it tastes like lemonade      
   some squares you must avold      
   to step wrong and then you slide"      
     
   The top of the canopy new adventure starts      
   They got there by the shortest route      
   The dice changed to  the ace of hearts      
   Down the slide chased by a great big ball      
          
Do what you want in that  games console    
Jump into the deep just don't push delete  
You are the theme and passion the prize  
Stardust for minds to depths realised

He sat in his shed and wrote as a child
To worlds that only he had contrived
