The first verse contains a princess
Two witches (one evil, one good)
There’s a castle in it somewhere
And a dark, enchanted wood.
The second has ghosts and vampires
Monsters with foul-smelling breath
It sends shivers down the book spine
And scares everybody to death.
The third verse is one of my favourites
With rabbits in skirts and trousers
Who talk to each other like we do
And live in neat little houses.
The fourth is bang up to date
And in it anything goes
Set in the city, it doesn’t rhyme
(Although, in a way it does).
The fifth verse is set in the future
(And, as you can see, it’s the last)
When the Word was made Computer
And books are a thing of the past.
