Mr. Brumpi Walks On The Moon
by Antonio Garza
Mr. Brumpi, a little gnome that lives in a tree by the sea,
looked up at the moon one night, and wished there, he could be.
He asked his friend Mr. Tuddles, a caterpillar he'd known since he was born,
if he knew how to get to the moon, without any worries or scorn.
"Mr. Tuddles, we can't get there by jumping,
I can't even reach that apple of which I was hoping.
We can't get there by climbing,
our ladder is too short," said Mr. Brumpi, not smiling.
We can't get there by flying,
we don't have any wings," said Mr. Brumpi, sighing.
"And I've never seen any bird or even the mighty condor,
flying higher than the snowy peak of Mount Kilimanjaro."
"Alas, Mr. Tuddles, I will never get to walk on the moon."
"On the contrary Mr. Brumpi, you can be there this lovely night in June."
"I am sure I do not know what you mean?"
"It is actually quite easy. You can use your mind, it is quite keen."
"Use my mind? You mean imagine that I am there?"
"Yes. With your mind you can visit anywhere."
Mr. Brumpi sat down and leaned back on his tree.
He thought hard and he thought long and soon the moon surface, he could see.
"Mr. Tuddles, I see the moon floor beneath my feet.
This is so exhilarating, I can't believe I've never done this before, it is so neat.
The ground is cushy and soft,
I feel very alive, being aloft.
I am now jumping and bounding from spot to spot.
Six feet, nine feet, twelve feet, it is quite a lot."
"That is great Mr. Brumpi, I am glad you could visit the moon.
Later, we can go on safari, visit a volcano or sail the mighty sea, it is never too soon."
"Thank you Mr. Tuddles, for showing me how,
to be in many places, be it then or be it now.
I wish everyone would know, what I learned today.
You can use your mind for work and also for play.
The End
