Paul Warren Poet Ballad

The Mandela Effect

Have you always thought that something was true
And then find out that it wasn’t then
There are beliefs of the masses found to be untrue
Named after Nelson Mandela who spent 27 years in jail 
And was released in 1990
But people swear he died in prison in the 1980s
Not becoming South African president in the 1990

The monocle of Mr Pennybags in Monopoly was never there 
And Darth Vader never said, “Luke, I am your father”
Curious George never had a tail
Mona Lisa does not have a frown but a smirk on her face
The Evil Queen in Snow White 
Never said “Mirror Mirror on the wall” in the Disney toon
Small things they all are when questioned
But they become part of world culture.
