Daddy, Where Do Unicorns Come From?

mike-hauser Poems

Well son... *It all began in Fairyland In the lab of the mystical toads As trash throughout the land had gotten way out of hand Along side of the pixie dust roads The system they had wasn't working Leaving empty all the garbage cans And everyone of the Fairies backs were hurting Bending over picking all of the trash In an off the wall guess Teddy Toad thought of this Something the Fairies all liked A horn on a horse as a matter of course Then the trash men could go along for the ride So they took a horse and Duct taped a horn Cause we all know Duct tape works wonders But it never fit right in its slip and its slide In the taping of over and under Science soon prevailed in the cell from the horn of a cow Mixing it up with one from a horse Purely by accident they just happened to chance Upon what is now the Unicorn Who's very first job was giving litter a nod In helping to keep the streets clean But before too long the Unicorn evolved In the preforming of different activities From the up turn of nose in sneezing rainbows In the prettiest of sunny weather To giving kids rides as they grew wings to fly The ones mixed with birds of a feather Or the burping of clouds when they opened their mouths That only know how to rain Skittles That sometimes floods the streets in candy knee deep Running sugar sweet straight down the middle So if you're ever confused on how Unicorns were first used Or had any doubt to how they came about You can set your mind at ease You now know they were created because Fairies all hated Bending over picking trash off the streets* Goodnight son, sweet dreams...
