Be Careful What You Wish For

i like it. :)

There once was a princess, valiant and true

Alas, she lacked brains, and knew it too

When someone inquired about 2 plus 2

She would simply stare blankly and answer, blue?

She lamented her fate, she whined and she pined

 

But no noble tutor could sharpen her mind

Sick of her life, she prayed one night

And awoke with a mind that was truly divine

The kingdom rejoiced they were pleased, they were gleeful

 

 

But the lady’s joy soon turned fearful

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

With each passing day, her ugliness grew

People soon looked at her with horror and booed

 

Soon they spoke of admitting her to the nearby zoo

Her knowledge was growing like a tumorous balloon

She couldn’t stop knowing and it made her head ache

She hated knowing all that she knew

It was all too morbid and tragic too

So every night she cried out and wished

 

Asking for her fate to be reimbursed

Finally one night, a fairy came flying

And asked why she cried in a voice so annoying

She replied “I am to smart and no longer fair.”

The sprite answered with “Well, I really don’t care”

“You asked to be smart, you asked to have knowledge

So now that you’ve got it… suck it up honey.”

Yep...I agree. We either get one...or the other, right?!!! I think maybe when we have the one that counts, we actually have them both in the same (yes, I'm a poet too!~lol). Love your work...can't wait to read more. Great Job!

Excellent and so very true....we want it, but we don't when we get it.

Charming is the word I have for this write. Lots of witt and a great morale, we all want what we don't have and once we get it there are stipulations.

Excellent work, Ireally enjoyed this write.
