Legoland

We went to the Omeo Show on the weekend and the Lego display reminded me of a poem I wrote when the children were little.

Here it is:

A trip to Legoland in Denmark they promised us,

So into Myer Dandenong we went by bus.

No easy fear I must confess,

But in we went never the less.

Two children, a toddler, a pusher and me,

into Dandenong it cost a dollar fifty three.

It was strange that it cost so much to arrive -

'cos coming home it was only sixty five!

Nimbly dodging the dashing cars,

We finally reached Myer's doors of glass (sorry!)

Up in the lift - none left behind?

Not one of ours so never mind!

Legoland, we're here at last!

Half an hour early I learn aghast!

Well never mind we'll have a drink,

I have enough money left I think!

While the children were busy in the building area,

I had a cup of coffee in the cafeteria.

None of them won that particular heat,

But came away with a hat and a nice certificate!

It was worth the trip in the rickety old bus -

The certificates, the pusher and four of us.

Halfway home the littlest fell asleep,

And we had a day that was relatively cheap!
