Tinkerbell must Die

 

 

I'm so sick of poems about fairies

Tinkerbell and her freaking bag of dust

maybe she'll eat some poison berries

unicorns, rainbows, sunsets and love

why is everything from heaven above

dancing singing laughing and hugging

gag me on the spoon that I'm chugging

beautiful views and twinkling stars

fairytale endings and happily ever after

annoying meddlies and nursery rhymes 

I wish I may I wish I might

have this dream I wish tonight

Cinderella needs to get laid alright

Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall

what a perfect ending for fairies and all!

Author's Note

Just poking some fun at myself and other poets that write at times about the same thing over and over and over and over again.

The piece is so masterly written. The irony is to the point. I also dislike shabby images and worn out clichés. Though sometimes I use them in writing. And thinking about excuses I usually come to conclusion: what kind of life would be without all the sentimental stuff? It would be nothing but the stale bread. )

Phahahaha, why don't you tell us how you really feel Muse! I hate it when you hide behind your poetry, ha. And if Cinderella gets laid before me, I'm gonna be really pissed off....

[Muse]

ha ha ha...

was gonna comment with some sarcasm...but bloody hell...it's Friday, and my mind is spent!

[Frieda P]

Hey it's Fukitol Friday, take two and call me in the morning ;-)

Here, here, they've all overstayed their welcome! I love the cheeky portraits, they are quite enjoyable.

: )

Eviction notice. ;)

Well, be good to the fairies or they'll trample a ring in your grass. (laughing) Humpty Dumpty should've been a little more hard boiled eh? This was funny.

[Muse]

long story short..I was tired of Tinkerbell after doing my daughter's bedroom all fairies...shhhh...don't tell her about this fun little ditty..she'll be crushed.

[Fabian G. Franklin]

I so understand...my daughter was all about unicorns and My Little Pony...so I took her to the fair...put her on a REAL pony! She screamed her lungs out! The pony handler gave me my money back! (laughing) I think it traumatized her...no more unicorns and my little pony after that. But she took up a love of frogs...I guess she figured I'd never fing a frog big enough to saddle...lol

[Muse]

now when she gets older..finds that slimy frog, and tries to "kiss" him into a prince....she will be traumatized once more I'm afraid. lol

[Fabian G. Franklin]

No...she still loves frogs and she's 28 now...I don't think she kisses them though. I'll have to ask...lol...she's all about learning the mandolin right now...so of course dad is out trying to get her a new one...sold her my old one...I GAVE her a guitar...she never learned it...so I sold her a mandolin...hehhehheh...musician psychology...hahaha

[Muse]

you mean reverse psychology lol

[Fabian G. Franklin]

My daughter works at Grove Park Inn Spa and Resort in Asheville, NC....look it up...she goes to work at a castle every day with flowing fountains...heated pools...luxurious grounds...she has it sooooo rough. lol She is a concierge there. And for this I sent her to college...she has a degree in journalism and political science...I have to use whatever psychology I can get my hands on. Luckily my brother is a psychologist...lol Hey, ya know how many psychologists it takes to change a lightbulb?...Only one. But first the lightbulb has to really WANT to change! lol

[Muse]

I took a couple courses in Psychology...art school....and now I'm an office manager for 3 Doctors....ummm...not sure what happened. Long story short, it sounds as if your daughter is living the dream, it may not have landed her a career yet, but she's on the right road.

You know, I always wished someone would swat her. Remember the movie "Labyrinth" where Hoggle went around pesticiding fairies?

The rough trochaic tetrameter adds a nice sing-song beat to it as well.

I really like this. It speaks the truth.
Your writing is so fun.
Great peice

[Mark]

Too much sentiment and over used cliches can quickly become sickeningly sweet, and very unpalatable. The ultimate line is about Cinderella needing to get laid as it totally shows how exasperating it has all become! I like the tone of expression you use. Nicely written.

[Muse]

lol thank you

[Nautili]

lol......i love that cynical side of you....
and truly Humpty-Dumpty is more common than any poised and attentive prince with a vast kingdom to share!

[Circe]

haha this is awesome.. you really know how to tell it straight, "gag me on the spoon" heheheh.. and I really love "cinderella needs to get laid alright", yes d****t, couldn't agree more. let's help her. incredibly fun to read, and I think works like this are important to challenge the norm, certainly wouldn't want fairytales to be taboo in humour.

[Pax]

you never let me down to amuse me ms. Muse... i see truth in your work.. for fairies are not usually good nature... they can be deceiving as conniving they can be... and about the fairytale well i guess they need a real dose of reality...

I don't think you would be considered as 'the voice of reason', to my six year old niece and her big gang of friends...so watch out! ( and I was very amused by the way), thanks.
