The other day I was led astray
To a better place, I will admit
Joined the engrossed audience
Stopped and then did sit
In my head, I went to places
Not visited for so long
Yet here and now with this singing cow
Felt again I do belong.
The Penny Anna playground
Where everything is fun
Boys with toys and girls with curls
Dance under smiling Sun
The animals have their stories
The good in each shines through
Sometimes it has guest tellers
Maybe more than two.
It has no fixed location
In fact, has more than one
It is wherever has a reader
As each chapter has begun
A playground that's a classroom
A classroom that's a hope
A hope for encouraging young ones
In wisdom and how to cope.
Penny Anna is, in fact, two ladies
Of equal importance in my story
Both deserve the recognition
Both deserve the glory
Two outstanding figures in real life
Weaving it with make believe
Inspiring others to do something
Seeing what they could achieve ,
