ONCE UPON AN ENCHANTED WORLD

COMEDY, i guess

Once upon an enchanted world, 

a princess encountered a frog.

As good a kiss as she could give,

she gave: but the frog was a frog.

Hither and thither she skipped

a prince being the source of search,

nothing she did at all behold

except the spiteful green frog

Once upon an enchanted world,

did a prince look for a maiden.

One who had slept a thousand years

was searched in the woods by him,

so that he could bestow a kiss

and grant her revival from the swoon.

Never he found any such princess

instead was detained in a mental asylum.

Once upon an enchanted world,

lived an old haggard lady

who called to her mirror everyday

asking for the fairest of all

but never in a hundred years

did she listen to a speaking mirror

but she did, in uncontrollable fury, 

break the mirror, her husband's gift.

Once upon an enchanted world

traveled a young, fair woman

who wore heels on just a foot

and called herself Cinderella.

She said she was looking

 for a handsome young prince 

who would fetch her other shoe

her foot was growing blisters

Once upon an enchanted world

Lived honest, old Jack

who had always yearned for a sister, Jill

to travel up the hill.

His pail of water, forever empty,

induced him to fill it up

to name his teddy bear Jill

and travel up the hill
