Kim Stone Poet Rhyme

New Horizons

  Two Lip Larry was being groomed for the role of fairy
  He required a lot of assistance. 
  Since the form letter discovered his existence
  Received in the mail.
  During a winter of hail
  Two Lip Larry read the instructions.
  To wit
    "Dear fairy, we hope you are not very hairy,
      Since you've been chosen to play the role of a fairy!
     First pluck any extraneous hair,
     Until your visage is quite fair!
     Next try on the tutu for fit.
     Practice bowing at the knee,
     Without doing a split!
     And last,
     But not least,
     Take the wings out,
     Check them for lift!
  This is a very important date,
  Arrive at 10 after 10,
  Do not be late!"
  
  Close to the time he was supposed to leave
  Would you believe
  A knock came on his cabin door
  He almost fell on the floor
  A small voice cried
  " Open the door,
    And let me inside!
  The kit was sent to you by mistake,
  Now give it up!
  Before I am late!"
  Two Lip Larry had followed the instructions
  Down to a T
  He could even bow in the tutu
  With just a knee
  " Why should I let you in?
  I might be the best fairy to begin!
  I'll make you a deal.
  I want to know how being a fairy will feel
  Let me keep half the fairy kit
  And we will see 
  Who can make the best deal yet!"
 
  Two Lip Larry was the hit of the show
  Now every time a fairy is needed
  He is the one the show has pleaded
  He really was quite nice
  Now he had a fairy vice
