Once Upon A Time...Mary The Scary Fairy Poem by Shaun Cronick

Once upon a time,
Far far away,
Deep in the Enchanted Forest,
Lies a hidden magical kingdom.
And...

There dwells a most beautiful fairy,
Who has the pretty name of Mary,
Her friends she so loved,
But if pushed and shoved,
She would turn quite nasty and scary.

One wretched dark stormy night,
With the harsh storm at it's height,
Disguised as a fiendish vampire goblin,
She terrorised all leaving many sobbing,
The fairy King had had a titful,
And shot her dead on sight.

But Mary returned from her cold grave,
For she had dabbled in the black arts.
Relishing its evils and the power it gave,
Enacting retribution and ripping out hearts.

And when the forest had burned crisply down,
With her fairy King now begging on his knees,
She surveyed death and desolation now all around,
And slowly strangled him with consummate ease.

So if by chance you meet a beautiful fairy,
And if this fairy's name is Mary.
Be on your guard,
Be very wary...
