Once Upon a Time

In all your bedtime stories
and all your nursery rhymes 
they lived happy ever after
and start with 
Once Upon A Time

how jack and Jill fell
down the hill,or how
Mary lost her sheep
and how Humpty- dumpty
had a great fall

well Jack and Jill
went back up the hill
and Mary's sheep
all came home
but life is more like
Humpty-dumpty
for all the kings horses
and all the kings men
could't put life
back together again.....
