The Hidden World of Words
If you love adventure
Exploring the unknown
Then I'll tell you of a secret place
Unseen but quite well known
A world of crime and infamy
Or perhaps heroes with their capes
With each and every visitor
The landscape changes shape
It is a land beyond ours
It's held strong throughout the ages
And some of us lucky souls
Have moved within the pages
So join us here in Avalon
And face the gauntlet or a beast
Afterwards we can share an ale
End the chapter with a feast
When it's time to head back home
To see what you have in store
Just close the book that is in your hands
And you will be back at your front door
Tomorrow you can come again
And learn of skills of old
If only you will take the time
To read and to be bold.
