In The World Of Fantasy



In the world of fantasy nothing seems bizarre.
You can be an emperor or a Russian Czar.
In the world of fantasy nothing seems untrue.
You can be a jumping jack or a kangaroo.
In the world of fantasy nothing seems a boast.
You can be a poltergeist or a banshee ghost.
In the world of fantasy nothing seems relief.
You can be a commandant or a party chief.
In the world of fantasy nothing seems absurd.
You can be a nightingale or a hummingbird.
In the world of fantasy nothing seems froward.
You can be a patrician or a feudal lord.
In the world of fantasy nothing seems off scale.
You can be a tiger shark or a killer whale.
In the world of fantasy nothing seems undone.
You can be a cosmic ray or a Summer sun.
