Cinderella got palaced
Bambi was Fawned
101 Dalmatians were painted
A Little Mermaid was spawned
Donald Duck got Daisy'd
Goofy went crazy
Captain Hook was gatored
Mysterious Island cratered
Snow White was dwarfed
A Beauty was Beasted
The Three Little Pigs
On a big bad wolf feasted
Be they movies, cartoons or books
All these stories deserve a second look
Reason enough for you to
Read to your children; give back what you took
Forbidden, sacred sight!
Potala gleaming white
Reflecting Asian light;
A shrine of mystic might.
The monks conspire inside
Old Lhasa’s palaced pride,
With mummies spiced and dried,
Reviving priests who’ve died.
Tibetian spirits raise
And cast resentful rays
Through memory’s thick haze;
Avengers from old days.
They float across the air,
Descending when and where
The unbelievers dare
Not worship them, nor care.
