Mary the dainty fairy queen
Wearing a pale white veil rarely seen
Trailing after her in meadow dale, light and airy
Floated gently to a brownie’s eyes, name of Jerry.
He admired her smile, the daisies on her head.
The colorful quail leading her down his flower bed.
The north wind agreed to a quick intervene.
Lifting her veil, Jerry saw beauty forever unseen.
In her hazel green eyes, a curious gleam.
Approaching the garden from wild forest stream.
Convening his advisors Perry, Terry and Ned.
Jerry asked permission to snag her and wed.
They caught her entourage without a pail
Her unicorn gave out a tiny wail
Orchestrated fully by that fairy queen
Had the first wedding fairy land had ever seen.
Jerry was smitten. His own idea he thought.
But preening fairy queens are not that easily caught.
She kept her marvelous secrets until her daughter’s courting days
Telling her how to entice the marriageable brownie to stay.
A boastful contrary dinosaur effortlessly fails giving handshakes.
Ignoring juicy kindnesses loving marriageable newt offers possible
quick realistic solution, teaming united voices with xylophonic youthful zest.
Marriage
Merger of two hearts for
matrimonial bliss.
Matches made in Heaven
morning hug and a kiss.
Meeting of the minds for
marriageable kinds. Such
merriment you will find.

Mirror, mirror
at the end of the hall
The same lie you will tell
when your mistress call
Vexed with vanity,
she'll want to be reassured by you
So you must tell her, she's beautiful still
Lie, lie again if you will
to this 50-year-old spinster
with no marriageable skills
Mirror, mirror
hide the cracks in the skin
Tell her she's as beautiful
as she was way back then
Just don't let her stand too close,
don't let her gaze too hard
She might not like what she see,
this true reflection of reality
Mirror, mirror
You served your mistress ever so well;
dressed her in illusion,
boasted that her beauty would always sell
But truth washes away your lies,
once she steps from the castle into the rain
All the young men look untoward her,
passing by her faded beauty with disdain
BETRAYAL
And the young boy of marriageable age
Went forth into the valley
The valley of the fallen kings
With the needy brother
Or so he seems then
In search of his sick sister
Who lies dying in a cave
After days of walking
Stopping to hide from bandits
A time too many
They come upon the cave
But the sister is invisible
The needy brother isn’t a brother
But a lure
He goes mute
The sorceress appears
And the young boy of marriageable age's
Time is neigh.
