Taking Your Chance

So I woke up one day, in a land, far, far away.
It’s icy with with a pinch of breeze.
It must have be at least minus 50 degrees.
Wait… Am I? Could I?
I’m in Antarctica!!!!!

I must have fainted, but when I woke up…
I was in China!?!?
Walking round the streets, I didn’t know what to think.
I didn’t know what was going on, so I felt a little dumb.
Then a kind man gave me a plate of dim sum!
Suddenly the yummy meal made me rise. Rise where?
Well… into the air.

Then, in a blink of an eye I was in Spain. Near a lake I believe.
Hola, someone said to me.
Then I said, “It’s time to stop worrying. Have fun, it’s your chance!”
So with that, I dived in. It felt great, just like a dance!
