The stationmaster smiled; You did not need a second look To notice his resemblance To a certain Captain Hook! 2) Two little dreamers hurried up- Their names were John and Jane. "Oh sir," they said to Captain Hook, "Is this the dreamland train?' Smilingly he took their hands And led them safe inside, And then he bowed and said, "I hope You have a pleasant ride." What happened next was something strange And odd beyond compare, For with a jerk the train took off And sailed into the air! 9) Then suddenly there was a great Commotion in the crowd, And to their ears there came the sound Of honking clear and loud A motor reared, the crowd fell back, An auto came to view. It was of ancient vintage, yet Looked quite as bright as new. And who was sitting at the wheel? Who else but Mr. Toad! "Pip pip to you!" he loudly called. "Come on, let's hit the road." 24) And when on one last mighty whirl The car went out of hand, They skidded through an arch on which It said "Adventureland." And so, where seconds earlier They'd been by frost be-pearled, They now were in the dark and Steaming jungles of the world "Oh tell us, Mr. Toad," said Jane, "Do you think it can be That creatures of the jungle Also have a Christmas tree?" 28) "You will observe," said Toad, "that where The rocket ought to be You see instead, before your eyes, A futuristic Christmas tree." A streamlined Christmas tree it was, Of burnished plates, and shone With some illumination and Keen brilliance of it's own. "I think I like it best," said John. "To me it seems to say That all on Earth may yet be well Some not too distant day. Remember, all the pictures and verses are available at Karl's site. Thank you again, Karl. And thank you, Walt.
