Some Fairytales

Rumpelstiltskin again dominating   
Another illusory speed dating.
Above fairies' swoon
Round dollar-hued moon,
Phoenix and dragon loudly berating.

Bumble bees found buzzing round pink flowers,
Spellbound by their sway and fragrant powers.
Rapunzel in fear
While bees steer and cheer,
Working on spelling bee all through small hours.

By fountain, Billy Goat Gruff met a bee
Among the flowers sipping nectar sprit.
They, friends forever,
Fellows so clever.
Carefree, foolish, mischievous, and beastly.
