There once was a man
whose name was Stan
One day walking along
whistling a happy song
When he did see
a most splendid tree
And made a big mistake
something from it to take
‘Twas ever so tragic
for the tree was magic
He was frozen in place
to his utter disgrace
Birds nested in his hair
and critters from everywhere
Used him all the time
as a means to climb
For he could not move
nor even to disapprove
And so it is I’m guessin’
we should learn a lesson
If ever a magic tree
you should happen to see
You’d better keep it real
and nothing from it steal
Or you could be frozen
that’s just what I’m supposin’

In a large ship
off the pirates sail
But little they did know
how badly they would fail
For when the high winds
all of a sudden died
Warnings from the crow’s nest
out to them were cried
A monstrous octopus had
been spotted down below
And the closer he got
the bigger he did grow
As he then reached out
his tentacles in the air
The life boat was cast
with no time to spare
After he had taken
their pirate ship down
He kept on grabbing
for anything left aroun’
And he got the parrot
as a pirate fought him off
Now at my little tale
have no mind to scoff
But rather heed the warning
of the perils at sea
Or in the octopus’ garden
buried there you’ll be!

There once was a princess
ruling her kingdom of Derfalings
A land with giant creatures
some of them silly things
Who suddenly decided one day
a birthday party to throw
For when it truly was
no one seemed to know
So they planned to have
it to be a surprise
And a crazy excuse did
the four ringleaders then devise
All went to the princess
saying her help they need
While begging her come along
to their cave with speed
Where others from the kingdom
were already there in hiding
When the princess began asking
what help they needed providing
And at that very moment
her subjects sprang out with glee
Presenting her with their gifts
wishing a birthday so happy
Which startled her at first
but then made her cry
As the Derfalings were searching
a tissue her tears to dry
“Thank you all so much
for what you have done
Now come on let’s party
and have a bit of fun!”

I thought my eyes
were going sorta silly
When I saw rising
up from a lily
Beauty of the morning
a water nymph divine
Feeling it must be
a fantasy of mine
Or playing tricks on me
could have been the light
I watched in wonder’s gaiety
as she took off in flight
Twisting and turning around
spinning cartwheels in air
She was the grandest vision
that I had seen anywhere
While I hid from sight
in the bushes tucked away
I found myself wishing
I could stay all day
But mother was calling
which the nymph heard
And so I backed up
not uttering a word
Smiling I skipped home
already planning my return
With hopes the trip would
another sighting of her earn!
