Poem
Eugene awoke and looked upon His Mirror in the morning Dawn He saw himself and stopped to yawn Then saw instead his friend Antoine. Well Antoine said ‘come in, come on I’ll whisk you with this Magic Wand Then we can journey to the Pond And sail astride the Silver Swan’. And once inside the Looking Glass Amazing conquests came to pass Before the midday hourglass Released its sands upon the grass. Well, first they sought and found the pond And hypnotized the Silver Swan To sail them to the edge beyond To Charles, the Froggy Vagabond. Well Charles was said to be ‘a King’ Whose Crown was hanging from a String While hopping with a golden Ring Just waiting for a Kiss in Spring. Now Antoine said he’d kiss ‘the King’, (Or better said ‘the Froggy Thing’) But Eu refused to do such thing Unless the Frog removed the Ring. The Ring transfixed poor Froggy’s Nose Instead of round his tiny Toes To keep away the Midnight Crows As far as anybody knows. When Froggy’s Nose was finally free There was a sudden kissing spree With Ant and Eu (and Swan made three) To fix the Froggy’s Destiny. The Rest is rather imprecise. As to the trio’s Sacrifice The facts alone should now suffice - The Pond and Froggy turned to ice. And Swan became a Toucan Bird, The strangest thing I ever heard, Instead of chirp she only purred And even then she sometimes slurred. Though Charles the Frog was mighty cold, Upon the Pond he stiffly strolled Behind the The Ring that slowly rolled In search of one more nose to hold. Well, Eu watched Antoine set the Pace When beating Toucan in the Race To seek and find a warmer Space In front of Mother’s Fireplace. So Antoine waved his charmed Baton And whisked Eu back to Mum’s Salon - But looking back, Eu’s friend was yon Behind the silvered Amazon.
