| Ta-da!
|
| Oh yes indeed!
|
| And now, Mirabile dictu et curibus pluribus unum!
|
| Or to use the vernacular
|
| Behold Professor Marvel’s Magical Lantern
|
| To see the wonders of the world you won’t need to go too far from home
|
| Not too far at all
|
| Dorothy there are other ways
|
| To see the world, so shift your gaze
|
| To this extravagant appliance
|
| Mainly magic, slightly science
|
| With no stressful travel plans
|
| As you don’t have to move from Kansas, see?
|
| The unabridged assembled wonders of the world
|
| Fly the coop and cross the ocean
|
| Time and distance set in motion
|
| Grab this chance to wander yonder
|
| All the earth is ours to ponder
|
| From the poles to the equator
|
| No one could provide a greater view
|
| There’s the Nile, now some don’t give a hoot
|
| That it’s the longest river
|
| But we know in miles of course it’s four-one-eighty
|
| Seas to source
|
| It’s nature at it’s most prolific
|
| Pyramids are quite terrific too
|
| So welcome to the waiting wonders of the world
|
| Sometimes we may feel something simply can’t be real
|
| Like a road beneath your feet that’s paved with gold
|
| I would be inclined to maintain an open mind
|
| For truth is very strange if truth be told
|
| There’s old popacatepetl
|
| New York City, glass and metal
|
| Everest unconquered mountain
|
| Over five miles high and countin'
|
| Here’s the arctic pole and polar bears
|
| And northern lights and solar flares
|
| A myriad exquisite wonders of the world
|
| Imagine red and blue on the mountains of Peru
|
| And Sahara sands of yellow burning white
|
| In jungles black and green fearsome creatures never seen
|
| Other than right now- oh! |
| That’s not right!
|
| I’m so sorry, that was from my private collection
|
| Moving rapidly along
|
| We don’t have to take it slowly
|
| Here’s Tibet, remote and holy
|
| Angel falls in Venezuela
|
| Eiffel Tower, humpback whale!
|
| A moment feeling all the thrills
|
| Of being near the seven hills of Rome
|
| Oh so many sights to savour
|
| This has merely been a flavour
|
| Maybe time for one more wonder
|
| Very strange it looks like thunder
|
| But the point that I’m conveying
|
| Is you see it all while staying home
|
| And home is one of many wonders of the world
|
| The unabridged assembled wonders of the world
|
| Professor Marvel’s patent wonders of the world |
