The magic carpet dropped me,

But I know not where.

The world fell away

And strange things happened when I landed there.

There were no more palaces

Nor houses of sandstone

In its place were simple buildings

And black strips for a road

I couldn’t navigate

Everything looked the same!

And talking to the people

Was, oh, such a pain!

They stared at me

As if I was a monkey in a zoo

Some seemed to recognize me

Though they knew not who.

Aladdin must be missing me.

He doesn’t know where I am.

My father would be oblivious,

And Rajah probably was eating a ham.

‘You’re not from around here’

A bystander pointed out

‘No I’m not’ I replied with a sigh

‘How can I get out?’

‘Just follow this walk.’ They said

‘You’ll find your way.’

But the longer I walked

The later it was in the day.

I have to get home

I said in my mind

Agarabah needs me

These roads only wind.

The night was drawing near

That much was sure

I still had no inkling

Of how to get to my shore.

I finally gave in

And sat on the ground

And just as I did

Just look what I found!

I was back in Agarabah.

What a beautiful sight!

The sandstone buildings, the cobbled walks,

Every thing was just right.
