The key to my Magic Kingdom is a broken shell That I found on the beach one day. People walked by it day after day, Not bothering to pick it up. The beautiful broken shell! Alas! Until, Oh look at the beauty of the shell The shell was so shiny when I picked it up The broken shell so pretty with different Shades of whites and gray. It's always my favorite get-a-way place. The sand is golden brown... The ocean is a soft baby blue that could match the sky. Warmth from the sun and Cool breezes of the wind The smell of the salty ocean ... Friends are welcome to come to my Magic Kingdom Whenever I go. Angela Maxey

My secret key to the Magic Kingdom is a blue marble It is like an ocean and really small. I use it to open the door to see the Magic kingdom Put it in the King's mouth, whenever he yawns But, it doesn't work whenever he opens his smelly onion mouth. An elf found the blue marble¡ and gave it to me. I became curious and really excited, Feeling like a sunny day. The elf told me it was forbidden for me to bring anyone with me. To the Magic Kingdom. As the door opened, I walked in the beautiful garden with a mermaid statue in the middle Of blooming flowers, smelling sweet Perfume and honey. When I'm there, I hear soft music playing Mozart Sleeping in a huge glass bowl with fluffy pillows in the bedroom, eating in the dining room filled with rich seafood Wading in a bright turquoise lagoon I want to see the Magic Kingdom to satisfy �y curiosity And to expose myself to the fantastic world of blue.

An Old Maid's Song If you wanna to know what it is like in a married life It is unlikely you will get any answer from me because I have never been a wife If you are over age of thirty, I'm telling you It's hopeless to dream a marriage for you So I'm warning you to get out of your dream Before you get caught in a trap in depression of blue Lov�ng a man of my dreams It seems like I'm always left with being forlorn Leaving me behind with no love a woman can dream of, All my heart is aching, so sadly and worn So my love for a man of my dreams had died Though I'm sure you know that I lied For I don't want my pain to start all over again Only to leave it behind me so I lose nothing and no pain no gain Freedom, that's all I could say it is too good to be true To be an old maid is a sure sign you're on the way to spinsterhood If you want my opinion of all men, I could say they're all fickle As long as they stay away from me for they're too sour like a pickle Or I couldn't stand a Male Chauvinist Pig and his big ego.

Those big rocks with grass are like a small mountains looking at the water The water is like a wrinkled blue blanket waiting for the cloud to fall down. The cloud is a puff of living dolls sitting on the huge rock. The huge rock is crumbled brown paper With green grass on it.

There is something in this space Bright, slow and round each night It shines on you and the Earth It might be gone tomorrow This full, beautiful, shining Circle
