Recess Files... Contd...
I wrote this 2 nights ago... its very fairy tale-ish... but it made me smile after i read it... and after i wrote it as well... certain kind of satisfaction you get from ryhmes huh?? :)
A long long time time ago…
In the corners of a kingdom far far away…
There lived a butterfly…
Tis was the most beautiful butterfly in all the land…
And he lived high up up in a sycamore tree thath hath be so grand…
Every now and every then, that butterfly would flutter down down to the dandelions below…
And every time it visited, the next day a new flower should grow…
Tis was the magic of the most beautiful butterfly…
Thath lived in a sycamore tree so grand…
But if you must know, that if the most beautiful butterfly should go…
All the colour and all the splendor it would never bestow…
Behold the magic of the most beautiful butterfly and the sycamore tree so grand…
But the time of the butterfly would soon be at and end…
Bringeth with it a future with no mend…
Tis was the folly of a foolish greedy man…
Who thought he could rule the rich kingdom with an iron hand…
With his battalion, he did descend…
But the peaceful kingdom could not defend…
They hath slaughtered the people and gathered the few…
For they should be burnt upon the morning dew…
Tied to that sycamore they begged, they cried…
“burn us not here for these lands would go dry…
as lives in this tree the magical butterfly”
to this the doltish plunderer did bellow a laugh…
who would have thought a man this daft…
and so when burnt to cinders was the sycamore tree…
the magical butterfly did flee…
thenceforth a mysterious plague hath consumed the land,
dried up the river it did and and turned all the gold to sand…
cry he would for the folly of his ways…
prayed, he did for the magical butterfly to return to the end of his days…

the moral of the poem: wotever seems appropriate... to me its "never take a magical butterfly lightly... and never laff at anything u dont understand... and dont burn trees!!":)
