The Faraway Tree


Deep in an enchanted forest, there was a magic tree
Inside its trunk was a slippery dip so you could slide down easily
Atop its magic branches visited every day
Different strange and mysterious lands, all from faraway

There was Topsy Turvy land, everything upside down
Not So Happy Land, where everyone wore a frown
The Land Of Do As You Please always was a treat
Then there was the Land Of Clumsy Folk where everyone had two left feet

But the very strangest land of them all
Was the one where from daybreak through to nightfall
The folk in this land breathed from a stick
Noxious fumes into their lungs which made them quite sick

In this land the folk shunned clean fresh air all around
And if you climb the branches up from the ground
Of the Faraway Tree and arrive in this land
I suggest you slide down the slippery dip as fast as you can
