The Glass Well
The well was glass when I fell in
I broke the way I've always been
I split the best of me in half
I heard the echo of a laugh
you really think that you'll escape
without a potion or a cape?
why yes I said with confidence
I've got a feather and some sense
I'm just like Dumbo I can fly
I've got my feather and the sky
The well was filled with colored ink
I made a quill and in a blink
I wrote myself a pair of wings
[my feathered quill can do those things]
then I wrote a patent pending
for Magic Quills....a happy ending.
