Halfway down the stairs - by A.A Milne

 

 


Halfway down the Stairs - by A.A Milne 

👞👞👞💥💥💥👞👞👞

     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;
    So this is the stair
    Where
    I always
    Stop.

    Halfway up the stairs
    Isn’t up
    And isn’t down.
    It isn’t in the nursery,
    It isn’t in the town.
    And all sorts of funny thoughts
    Run round my head:
    “It isn’t really
    Anywhere!
    It’s somewhere else
    Instead!”
