THE ABC ADVENTURE
If you plant an A like a seed in the ground,
You’ll soon have an APPLE all shiny and round.
And if you blow into a B, very soon
You’ll find that you’ve got a big, bouncy BALLOON!
If you catch a C, you will find without fail
That you’ve caught a CAT with a cute, curly tail!
If you put a D in that crumbly old wall,
Then you’ll have a DOOR that is dusty and tall.
And then if you open the door, you will see …
A world full of things all beginning with E!
If you find an F, then you might find some fleas,
Or a FOREST that’s full of fantastical trees!
And if you look up, there’s a G with black hair:
A gorgeous GORILLA that glides through the air.
If you go on walking, an H will appear:
A HOUSE with a horse on a hill over here.
And if you go in, you’ll enjoy I and J:
There’s plenty of ICE CREAM and JELLY today!
There’s also a big and a bouncy-ful K:
Why yes! It’s a KANGAROO wanting to play!
And L is for LOOK at what lies on its lap:
It’s M! A magnificent, marvellous MAP!
And if you unroll it, an N you will see,
An island named Norvillus Naughtilus Nee!
If you want to go there, an O you will need,
A shell of an OYSTER, an oar made of reed.
But if you’re not careful, a P will sail by,
And pointy hat PIRATES will plunge from the sky.
Oh! if you are clever, a Q you will be,
And quicker than QUICK you’ll race over the sea!
And then if you hear a loud R on the shore,
It’s waves as they RUMBLE and RATTLE and ROAR!
And then there’s an S, it’s a STORM dark as night,
So you’ll need a T for a TORCH that is bright.
And if you are wet, then a U keeps you dry:
Why yes! An UMBRELLA! Hold tight! Watch it fly!
And then if you look, there’s a V down below,
A VILLAGE and that is where you want to go.
And if you are good, there is W too,
And that is for WOMAN: ‘Oh, mum, I missed you!’
And if you find X, it is treasure you’ve got,
For this is your home and the X marks the spot!
And if you find Y, you are sure to find Zed,
You’ll YAWN and go ZZZZZ as you fall into bed …
And you’ll dream of an A that you plant in the ground,
And a beautiful apple all shiny and round.
