The Fire-Horse snorted Fire and was gone The Wood Dragon was left In a forest of lost dreams A reason in mind she could not see And the Sheep she bleated And the Monkey she chatted 'Is this what I want?' Said the thousand little voices in her head The busy bee flew in her ear And down the long and twisty hall Alive with thoughts unwanted The Dragon sat with a knotted tail Mummy we need you Mummy we need you Mummy we need you Woke the Dragon from her reverie She flew off and flew with a flurry For to save her children dear Found in the wicked paw In the midst of a were-wolfs lair Now his ears' being in tune with the ether The Fire-Horse flew across the sky In a blaze he was beside her Saving their children dear And the Sheep she bleated And the Monkey she chattered 'What took you so long?' Said the thousand little voices in her head. Well in anger they breathed their worst And together their fire raged This time not at each other But at the wolf in his cave Out he came very coward With his tail between his legs Oh he pleaded a greasy mercy But they sent him packing in a burning blaze!

Ode to the Seperated Family- A Modern Fairytale
The Fire-Horse snorted Fire and was gone The Wood Dragon was left In a forest of lost dreams A reason in mind she could not see And the Sheep she bleated And the Monkey she chatted 'Is this what I want?' Said the thousand little voices in her head The busy bee flew in her ear And down the long and twisty hall Alive with thoughts unwanted The Dragon sat with a knotted tail Mummy we need you Mummy we need you Mummy we need you Woke the Dragon from her reverie She flew off and flew with a flurry For to save her children dear Found in the wicked paw In the midst of a were-wolfs lair Now his ears' being in tune with the ether The Fire-Horse flew across the sky In a blaze he was beside her Saving their children dear And the Sheep she bleated And the Monkey she chattered 'What took you so long?' Said the thousand little voices in her head. Well in anger they breathed their worst And together their fire raged This time not at each other But at the wolf in his cave Out he came very coward With his tail between his legs Oh he pleaded a greasy mercy But they sent him packing in a burning blaze!
