Never After Series: Hey Diddle Didnt (#6)

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.
