Once upon a time,
There was a baby 
Named Roy.

And I am told
That he was not 
Coy.

Coy just means
That he is shy.

A Bed Time Story

Once upon a time
Once upon a dream
Once upon a heartbreak
Once upon a tear,
The world closed down!
Where were all the
Fairy Godmothers?

What Am I?

I’ve lost myself along the way
I loved you in a place, once upon a time
How can I learn to go on?
When with each breath that I take,
I need you.

Woman chef who was quite odd

Had a horrible taste but was quite mod

Fear the Monkey

Once upon a time in a zoo,
a monkey leaped and yelled BOO!
In a fright, I fell down
now I'm leaving with a frown...
I'm wondering who entertains who?

Jack and Jill

It happened once upon a time
A hill Jack and Jill did once climb
And what happened up there
Was just left in the air
But what followed was surely a crime

Once upon a time a fat-assed dog
Got his behind stuck in a log
He barked and barked and he strained some too
But the dog in the log was stuck like glue.

Gut shot, 
I’ll be a long time dyin’.
Put down 
Without a bed to lie in.
Cold blood, 
Don't hear nobody cryin’.
And all I did 
Was try and be her man.

eagerly presented to grandmother once upon a time
by a prince of a man, who left during World War II

Once upon a time
a handsome prince fell in love
the lady, common
deemed not worthy of his class...
yet he’s closer than a kiss.

in a land far far away

It Isn'T Easy

It isn't easy writing words better said face to face.
It isn't easy turning away dreams from the past.
It isn't easy, like falling into love once upon a time.

Once Upon a Time

Old lady
Woken by the sound of fireworks
‘It must be a new year,’ she thought
As she fell back to sleep,
Dreaming of a time long ago.
When the night was hers.

Youth released to the breeze.
Sense of joy abounds in vivid colour.
Time fleeting outside precious moments.

Once upon a time a pirate limped by
"How old are you?", I then asked with a sigh
What he said was good
But misunderstood
"Aye matey, you need not know!", his reply

It's My Birthday 

Once upon a time, the sperm was sown.
And for 21 years now, it has grown.
Now, we celebrate its clone. 

Happy Birthday to me.
