The land of Nelm

In a dark room

Where just a sliver of light shines

I close my eyes

And go to the land of Nelm

In the land of Nelm

 Where all kids play

I sit for hours, just to watch

 The green grass grow

 Without a patch of brown that stays

In the land of Nelm

Where all kids play

And flowers nod to say good day

 The sun looks down

 And smiles at me

In the land of Nelm

Where all are free

Soft melodies play

In distant waves

In the land of Nelm

Where all are free

I’m woken from my wonderful dream

By some distant yelling, down the way

I thought that I was distraught

But I was told that dinner was still hot
