I want to travel around the world for fun, And see different lands, one by one. But I would not like to travel by aeroplane, train, or by car - I would like to have a magic carpet that will take me afar. I will keep the carpet under my bed, rolled upright, So it will be easy to reach, when I want to take flight. I won’t need to get a passport, or buy a ticket when I want to fly, I’ll just sit on my magic carpet, and wave everyone good-bye! I’ll cross rivers and valleys, and the snowy Himalayas so tall, And fly to faraway China to see the Great Wall. Then I’ll float to Egypt, and visit the great Nile, And see the pyramids, and the Sphinx’s mysterious smile. I’ll travel to the African jungles where wild animals roam, And visit European cities like London, Paris, and Rome But on my magic carpet, before I eagerly set out, There’s something that I’m a little worried about. I keep thinking of it, again and again – What will happen if my magic carpet gets caught in the rain? I’m sure that soaking wet carpets can’t fly far away - So, to travel for fun, I must find another way!
