The Jester and the Puppeteer The jester and the puppeteer Ply their trade and it's none too clear They hold court and play their games The lives they twist, never be the same With talent and skill they do abound Throughout the land they're of renown See how they dance and entertain They're highly sought, this their domain Spells are cast within magic weave But told by some only to deceive Sing sweet lullabies, offer sweet refrain Another hapless victim to be claimed But one saw through their veiled disguise Seen all too clear, the deceit and lies Plays their game, knows it won't last long Gives them the stage, they sing their song One not smitten by such wily talent That brave knight was far too gallant With one fell swoop all knew he was able As he laid their souls upon the table Bared now to the light for all to see No place to hide, nowhere to flee Naked now, on their face it was clear They now knew what it was to fear "The heart and soul have no illusion of boundries when friendship is the quest" ~ My Angel. |

The brave knight always seems to get there in the fairy tales doesn't he? Wonderful words of inspiration especially with the play being set upon the stage of magical weaves and torments. |

Mark.......With fairy tales and fantasy anything is possible I guess. Experience has shown me it is to be very different in the real world. As for the stage, well I seem to be stuck on this theme at the moment. Thanks for adding your comment! Victoria......Thankyou, it was kind of inspired by a movie I used to watch often as a child, starring Danny Kaye I think. The story telling is something new for me, but fun. < !signature--> "The heart and soul have no illusion of boundries when friendship is the quest" ~ My Angel.

EagleOne~ A very well told tale ... Oh, such villanous characters taken down by the knight ! I like the stage setting for this form. I sort of liken it to getting to see the theatre from the cheap seats ! Enjoyed it very much. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |
