    Once upon a time

     Once upon a time 
    Except life is no fairy tale 
    Cinderella didn't find her prince Little Bo Beeps sheep didn't come home 
    The bears ate Goldilocks 
    And Snow White was poisoned and she didn't wake up 
    William Tell shot his kid straight through the heart 
    Hansel and Gretel were forever lost in the forest 
    Fairy tales 
    Spun to make children feel better at night 
    Sweet dreams 
    Except 
    I don't sleep 
    And I don't have dreams 
    And fairy tales and rhymes are lies 
    There is no happy ever after

    A poem begins as a lump in the throat, a sense of wrong, a homesickness, a lovesickness. It finds the thought and the thought finds the words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
