IN GRANDMA'S HOUSE
In grandma's house there are long winding stairs
With big tall windows
And a cat with hair...
That's Marmalade Orange
Eyes, piercing blue,
A tail that swishes
Sometimes he hisses too...
Beside the stairs is the tall chiming clock
With the big smiley face
Which ticks and tocks
That wakes me up
When it goes -
BING BONG...!!
But under the stairs is a funny shaped door
It's not really square,
Round or arched
More sort of... triangled?
I'm not really sure.
Gran calls it 'the graveyard'
Mum calls it 'the pit'
But....
If I open the door
What if a monster prowls?
If I peep inside
Will it pounce or growl?
On the door of the cupboard that's under the stairs
Are words clearly written
'OPEN WITH CARE!!'
If I twist the handle
Marmalade's tail tip twitches
Inside, will I find
Ogres or witches
Or maybe
A wormhole spinning thro' space...
With Stars, Moons -
Martian and Rockets...?
I'll open it slowly
Just in case....
The door of the cupboard that's under the stairs
CRE-a-a-AKS really loudly
I'm not sure I dare...
But now I see a ball, a bat
A pan and a boat
Even a goat in a hat...
There's the tent
My Slime Dragon
Oozing gooey green gore
My sister's gold wings...
Snow White's outfit she wore...
Bicycle, soldiers, my teddy bear!
Weird glowing glitter
