My Imaginery World

I have this imaginary world that I go to when I am upset. It is made out of things that you wouldn’t believe, like hubba bubba bricks, fairy floss pillows and melted chocolate rivers. It is called Yeybu Land and is filled with heaps of things that are made out of lollies. But the people are normal. The Yeybu people are very nice. I have a lot of friends there. My best friend’s name is Rose. "I am their Queen", that is what Rose keeps on saying.
Rose and I always go swimming in the Chocolate River. Well, we mostly just drink from the river because it is melted chocolate after all!
I found the imaginary world when I was getting teased for a really stupid thing - it was for falling off the monkey bars and that was how I found the imaginary world. I named it, of course, but the thing is Rose isn’t real. Even though every-thing in Yeybu Land seems so real, and I wish it was, it’s not. So I guess I just have to live with my amazing Imaginary world I’m lucky I have a great imagination.
