A Dark Fairy Tale

So I was in New York City

and I was depressed,

not because I was such a success

and had so much money,

but because the stress

that was on me

was so unbearable

that I wanted to die,

so I stepped inside

the front door

of the Empire State Building

and climbed every flight of stairs

up to the top

where I walked over

to the edge

and knew this was my time

and I executed

a perfect swan dive

off the roof,

but then, as soon as I was flying

I decided that actually

I wanted to stay alive,

that I had a lot to live for,

so in a panic

I cried out

to the Great Fairy Godmother Savior In The Sky

to save me,

and instantly

a feeling came over me

that I had to throw up,

so, puking,

up came two shiny metal springs

which I attached to the top of my head

and then I hit the sidewalk and

BOING

up I bounced

all the way up

to the top of the Empire State Building,

where in a gentle arc

I landed,

and was so happy

that I began to laugh

and the laughter became more and more

uncontrollable,

so much so

that I fell over on to my back

where I had

a heart attack

and died,

so the moral is -

"Somethins Gonna *** Ya".
