Larry Belt Poet Rhyme

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

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
