TARGET: do you know this poem?

[Robin Shtulman <shtulman@ERVING.COM>]

Okay, folks:

A student who is graduating would like to use this poem in his graduation
speech.  He no longer has access to the book from which it came and he would
like to give proper credit to its author.  I have searched a bunch of first
line indexes  . . . I know someone out there will recognize it!

There is a land
a marvelous land
where witches
with their bitter brew
can cast a magic spell;
where mermaids sing,
where carpets fly,
where in the midst of night
brownies dance
to cricket tunes;
and ghosts, all shivery white
howl and moan.
There is a land
a marvelous land
of magic folks and deeds
and anyone
can visit there
who reads and reads and reads.

By the way, isn't it unbelievably magnificent that a child graduating from
6th grade would choose this for his speech?

Thanks, everyone!

Robin
