Jozef Behr | Life In Fairy Land Poem by Jozef Behr

As a small child I fancied to sail
By ocean to a land of fairy tales,
Camp in a field with Little Red Riding Hood.
Dazzling stars would fire at the Big Bad Wolf.

Eat up fruits on bubblegum trees,
Free the Ugly Duckling from bullies;
Get all Three Little Pigs together,
Help them to live in the brick house forever.

I can't climb up Beanstalk for money,
Jack kindly says life in fairy land is free;
'Keep knocking on doors like Princess and the Pea.
Luckily, accommodation is guaranteed.'

Milky Way dances as light fades.
Night drapes around Sleeping Beauty's place.
Over the sky I see the moon parades;
Pied Piper's music softly plays.

Quietly I have found Cinderella,
Royal palace is a place for pleasure;
Seeing Fairy Godmother and Prince,
Turning pumpkin into candy floss on string.

Unstoppable I would enjoy the sweets,
Vanilla ice cream and many more treats
While swimming with Little Mermaid in a chocolate pond.
Xylophone would be playing our favourite song.

You are right, my teeth will rot.
Zero chance for me to be slim and hot.
