This is quite strange,last night when i was layin in bed right before i went to sleep i wrote this in my head....it's quite funny i think.If anyone gets anything out of it,i'll be surprised...lol...for me it's absurdity is amusing!!


The moon rose up,the night was long,
there were mockingbirds singing a blue bird's song.
He heard the clatter of horse's hoof.
He heard it's clatter upon the roof.
"How curious" said he,
what could these noises be??¿
"I command ye to stop this noise!!"
he shouted with his finest vocal poise.
"Get ye off my house top!!"
but the footfalls did NOT stop.
So he climbed out his window & over the shingle,
the night air was chill & he felt it's tingle.
& what do you suppose he saw there??¿
NO HORSE,but a maiden fair!!
He brought her down
& took her to town.
They were SWIFTLY wed by the pastor.
He wanted to go right home,so he drove the cart faster!!
They lived happily for awhile
with beautiful children that smile'.
But one day,poverty struck,
i guess they ran out of luck.
Then she said she knew how to solve their trouble,
& make their money more than double.
and before his eyes,
& to his surprise
she turned into a horse!!
(of course)
Then she said
"Hop on my back & bring the bread"
They rode for nights & days
around in a forrest like a maze.
They came to a stream,
with a rosey red gleam.
She said "This is the place,
we'd better make haste.
Cut off my head,my feet,& one ear,
& promise me this: you'll not shed a tear!!
If you do you'll botch the plans,
you'll ruin the magic of the sands."
With great reluctance he did as she said,
he chopped off her feet,one ear,& her head.
Her blood mix't with the sand
The sand came together to form her hand.
More sand came,
'till she was the same!!
And her pockets were filled with gold
& they lived happily till they grew old.
They didn't grow haughty,
that would be naughty.
They provided for others,
like children without mothers.




 And there she weaves by night and day,
a magic web of colours gay.~Tennyson

How wonderfully surreal. I think it's great.
Did you eat cheese before retiring or do you take mind expanding drugs?.lol
