Princess and The Derfalings
(image source: wikipedia.com)
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!”

Going Silly
(image source: photobucket.com)
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!

The Fairy And The Moon
(image source: google.com/images)
The fairy and the moon
had a chat one night
Sitting among the clouds
there in the star’s light
About life on the earth
along with this and that
While floating on downy comfort
as they chewed the fat
Discussing how it was
that silly human beings
Each thought they deserved
the finest of all things
And just at the idea
the both of them laughed
Then moon to fairy said,
“They must all be daft!”
To which the fairy replied,
“I really think it’s sad
“For what they were given
they should be more glad!”
Which then caused the moon
to pause for a just minute
When most suddenly he said,
“I don’t think they get it!”
“You know,” the fairy said
you just may be right!
“But do they not hear
those angels singing tonight?
“Maybe I should go and
make sure that they do!”
As away the little fairy
into the sky then flew
To join the choir of angels
so she could joyously sing
And tell all of the world
“Give glory to your King!”

The Three Pigs Merry
(image source: google.oom/images)
The three pigs merry
as any pigs could be
Set out one day
their family to see
Along the way together
they all sang happily
While anxious to visit
their “grammy and pappy”
Of the wolf ever watchful
were those merry three
Who chased their cousins
around without having mercy
Blowing down their houses
in a huffing spree
Before those little pigs
could ever get free
But these three siblings
had refused to be
Afraid of a wolf
when smaller was he
For these particular pigs
were hogs you see
And much larger than
their cousins by three
The big bad wolf
I think you’d agree
To attack them would
just be plum crazy!
