FOR EMILIA ...

FOR EMILIA ...

“I know, Emilia, that you like flowers ...

And so do I – they're such a delight ...

But, did you know they move around ...

In the middle of the night?

They're just like us, they get fed up ...

With having to sit still all day ...

So, when it's dark, they all get up ...

Meet each other and go and play ...

They like to do the things that you do -

Swimming, climbing, dancing ...

If you could see them dance at night ...

You would find it quite entrancing ...

So, next time you're in the garden ...

And you tread on flowers by mistake ...

You must say: “I beg your pardon” ...

Because they're actually wide awake ...

They're just waiting for night to begin ...

So they can have some fun ...

Perhaps, like you, they'll go trampolining ...

Or perhaps they'll have races to run ...

But, in the morning when you wake up ...

And see them sitting in the soil ...

Remember - what they get up to

Is a secret ...

We don't want to spoil.”
