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!
