Unhappily Ever After? Poem by Ima Ryma

Unhappily Ever After?



The 'Tom Thumb' fairy tale did end
Happy, but with Tom still unwed.
As it turned out, sequel did send
Me, tiny Jeannie, which then led
To Tom and me falling in love.
But on the day of wedding, woe,
A mean old witch flew from above,
Bottled me up, and then did throw
Me in the ocean far away,
Where in the waves I bob about
So sadly, many a night and day.
My Tom must be sad too, no doubt.

Hoping my Tom does rescue me,
This Jeannie in a bottle be.
