FAIRY TALE 2000
The precious little princess is out running with the dogs;
She’s had her share of princes, but she’s still kissing frogs.
The Queen is at her mirror, lost in vanity of reflections;
The King is on his cell-phone, making some new connections.
The throne room is in shambles, the dungeons are overfilled-
The rats never hunger, they are fed daily on fresh kill.
They gather at the gallows, preparing for the feast;
They have the royal blessing for disposing of the meat.
How fine the silks and satins spin to music as they dance,
How hypnotic the words of the bard with his talents for romance,
How generously flowing the wine and merriment.
While all of the forgotton suffer from a kingdom negligent.
Off into the forest runs the Unicorn.
His spirit is the purest, for he was never born.
The princess spies his shadow, lifts her head, then blinks and nods-
She’sbeen out chasing dragons and no one seems to find it odd.
Prince Charming brings her White Horse, rides her ’til she drops,
As she lives out a fairy tale that she only wants to STOP!
It seems like a bunch of jumbled sayings mushed together.

Holy crap that is good
only thing I cant figure
is how these guys with white horse
ever pull off the prince charming act
oh well
every story needs a hero
and a villain
so I guess it is economic casting or something
me
I am mostly boring
so
I dont even bother to audition any more

Sadly, I think your fairy tale has a lot of truth hidden in the lines.
Absolutely excellent writing on this piece. It never missed a beat from start to finish. Write On!!!!

sounds like something out of the book of ecclesiastes from the bible where the author seeks out numerous paths to fulfillment just to come to the conclusion that it is all empty. his conclusion is that life is meaningless without god. i don’t think that’s where this particular piece is leading but it sounds similar to me.
the moral i find is that living a dream can become mundane if your life has no substance. the dancing, the revelry, even prince charming all represent superficial pleasures. the only real view into the princess we have is that she wants the dream to stop. this tells us that she wants more than the kingdom has to offer, something that has to come from within.
ecclesiastes, difficult to pinpoint a verse because i don’t want to look it up at the moment.

The moral of the story is stay away from the brown acid, either that or health care will solve all of our problems I’m not sure which.
