Faitytales

A fairytale's life is not easy And yet they never complain We read their many adventures And they always entertain Humpty dumpty sat on a wall Well, you know this is gonna hurt He broke in a million pieces As he tumbled into the dirt Little Miss Muffet sat on her tuffet I don't even know what that is Now all of you pay attention For tomorrow they'll be a quiz Then there's Little Red Riding Hood Who took Granny something sweet She didn't know the wolf was Granny And looking for something to eat Then we have Little Bo Peep We all know what she did Maybe the sheep weren't lost at all But all of them maybe just hid Well, this is the end of my poem Did I mention Jack and Jill I wish they'd get back with that water Cause I'm not climbing that hill So if you thought your life was hard And the fairytale life looks great It's time to tell your own story And the rest of us just can't wait

LOL Yes, we always say, "She/he led a storybook life, but as you describe, even some fairytale characters had it tough. Just look at what happened to the Three Little Pigs everytime they moved into a new home. You gave us a great laugh and made a valid point, too! Enjoyed, Carolyn
