Halfway down the stairs
Is a stair
Where I sit.
There isn't any other stair
Quite like it.
I'm not at the bottom,
I'm not at the top:
This is the stair
Where
I always
stop. Halfway up the stairs
Is not up,
And it isn't down.
It isn't in the nursery,
It isn't in the town.
And all sorts of funny thoughts
Run rounds of my head:
It isn't really
Anywhere!
It's somewhere else
Instead!
