My secret garden 🧙

I came across a little wooden door, but I didn’t have the key

And this wooden door had a keyhole, but the door was locked

So I hoped someone would hear me from the other side, if I knocked and I knocked

Well I ratted and I tatted, til my knuckles could knock no more

Dear me I was just about to give up and turning around, someone creaked open the little door

‘Oh my goodness gracious me!!’ I had found a secret garden, inside an old oak tree..

“You opened the door with the invisible key, and invisible becomes magic after it hears twenty knocks you see!!”

A dwarf was dancing and jumping around, shouting and repeating this melodious sound

And again and yet again he repeated this rhyming riddle, as another dancing dwarf was playing a fiddle..

“You opened the door with the invisible key, and invisible becomes magic after it hears twenty knocks you see!!”

Then my word, you are never going to believe what nonsensical noises I heard!!..

And as I stood in awe next to the little wooden door, I had to blink my eyes in total disbelief, at this weird and wonderful fantasia that I heard and saw!!..

Hooting swans were honking, leap frogging over cats..they were all wearing green and blue wee willie hats..

These big fat tabby cats “MEOWED!!!” so very LOUD..as shimmering, symmetrical snowflakes, fell from a creamy, fluffy cloud

A dozen dotty dogs stood on their back hind legs, thumping on drums, with red and white wooden pegs

I just stood kinda tapping my feet, when one of the little dwarves took me over to a seat

And I clapped my hands, joining in to the rhythm and the beat 

So you see I have found my very own secret garden, in the middle of my local little wood

I apologise but I cannot share with you my secret, though I honestly would if I could..

Where I knock twenty times ‘A-rat-tat-tat’, and I tap my feet to my very own musical fantasia..
