Hourglasses and Sand Don'T Mix

Moonlit ride, darling Jasmine at his side Strode the carpet ride, the night was young Devil was in the details though, as they glide Across the desert, time sadly crept and clung To their faces, bodies, as they were older now Genie no longer in the bottle but having fun Freedom tasted sweet i'm sure, but frowning Was Jafar in his castle from afar, fighting none. The Sultan too was sad to see, ever older The sands of time ravaging them all cold Twisted rhymes turned the glass over again Terrible dreams Aladdin thought to himself then It must be true, about how they were not to mix Recalling this in his bag of tricks, he deftly pulled It from his pocket, a trinket frozen in time and six Magical rubies, put in the hourglass and not to be ruled By tyranny of chronos any longer, they would be young Again, but wisdom would be completely lost as well So well, back in the pocket and back to the ride he flung Jasmines arm over his shoulder and all was again swell ------------------------------------ For Sweet Linda-Marie's contest: "DISNEY" By: Tim Bryant
