Once
Once, oh once, there was, was not,
A girl, princess, mermaid, widow, witch, queen, wife,
A boy, king, soldier, wizard, troll, giants,
Magic
Life. The tale turns, returns, confuses, confesses,
And all the hardships, spells, and stresses,
End well in happy laughter
And we hope-
ever after.
Believe me, friend- because would I,
A storyteller, ever lie?
