Ever wondered
what became of
fairy folks disabled?
Facing trials,
beyond the files,
of lesson-teaching fables?
Their stories start
with broken parts,
as in the case of vermin,
whose blinded eyes
helped compromise
their tales & their earnings.
The tales lost
were hefty cost,
and seeking restitution…
Mice authorized
an opp on eyes
as ultimate solution…
And while procedure
surely featured,
machinations basic,
the upshot changed
their story range
to Mice enduring Lasik.
Just as sad,
is tale of lad,
known as Humpty-Dumpty…
Cracked and bruised
the Ova who–
–grew famous being clumsy.
The aftermath
of fearsome crash,
was actually the nexus…
Shattered, battered,
put on platter–
they ate Egg Man for breakfast.
This threw a wrench,
in rhymes entrenched,
particular to Ma Goose…
As Dish for eggs,
had Dish-like legs,
and thus was sorely misused.
No fiddling cats,
nor dogs to laugh,
at bovine jump of moon…
Since laden Dish
’caused Spooning Miss,
to search for other goon.
–a wooden boy
not man, nor toy,
but puppet with computer…
Pinocchio’s
her latest beau,
replacing Plated suitor.
Once Dish was dregged,
with Dumpty’s eggs,
Spoon had little option…
Word of mouth,
says they moved South,
to look into adoption.
