Imaginary Friend

I’ve got a friend

no one can see

That nobody hears

only me

He’s not a ghost

or anything scary

A cartoon rabbit

or a wicked fairy

He’s hard to describe

(looks a bit like me)

Though bigger and stronger

like I want to be

He’s there each morning

and throughout the day

We watch telly together

read or play

There are jokes to tell

and secrets to share

When I’m not well

it’s good that he’s there

We seldom argue

we never fight

(Because I’m the one

who’s always right)

I know he’s not real

it’s only pretend

And I’ll grow out of him

in the end

For when I’m older

I intend

To find an

un-imaginary friend.
