My Parallel Universe

Written by Ruby Conti

Illustrated by Emi Ueoka

Do you ever wonder,

looking through the looking glass.

Watching lightning, hearing thunder,

listening to time slowly pass.

There might be a parallel universe,

up high there in the world.

It could be flat like paper, or in a ball so curled.

It just pops up in my brain, you know,

have I made the right decision?

It could mean the world to blow,

but in a parallel universe,

I’m safe in its arms.

Do you dream of a monster,

under your bed?

It could come out with a clopper,

or be one you do not dread.

But if you are worried, never fear,

dream of your parallel universe.

It is a place for sweet dreams,

my dear,

don’t worry, be happy.
