As we drove out of Florida on our
way up to NC.
I was amazed at how many Fairy Tale
people the two of us did see.
We didn’t start out looking for them
at the beginning of the day
But we noticed they kept appearing
and popping up along the way.
As we pulled out of the driveway we
turned and then we slowed
Because a white rabbit in a hurry
scurried across the road.
We didn’t think too much of it—you wouldn’t
think that we would
Until later we saw a young girl walking
while wearing a red hood.
No she wasn’t carrying a basket of
goodies…I mean for goodness sake
But later we did see a coyote…that’s
like a wolf…so give me a break!
Then our curiosity got the better of
us and I don’t know what I meant
But we started looking for Fairy
Tales everywhere we went.
In a rest stop this side of Georgia,
yes we were still in the southeast
We saw a beautiful woman walking the
ugliest dog--one beauty and one beast.
In Valdosta we decided to take the back roads to
get away from those big rigs
When in front of us was a pick-up truck hauling—wait
for it—3 pigs.
Getting out of our car at a gas station we saw a
woman with black hair and eyelids
And getting out behind her was her husband and 7
kids.
Driving a little Honda by herself was a girl
with golden hair
And the sticker on her bumper read I heart the
Chicago Bears.
As we stopped for the evening at the end of the
day we were both so tired and beat
Riding up in the elevator with us was a woman
with long hair down to her feet.
Just outside out hotel room as we bid the day
adieu
A maid was working down the hallway with two
others telling her what to do.
This morning watching the news with the morning
sunrise glowing
We watched senators and representatives shut the
government down and saw their noses growing
As we left the hotel we had to laugh at these sights
we couldn’t discard
And we wondered when we reached NC…will there be
a beanstalk in our back yard.
If you think this sounds too unbelievable, Hey,
what fairy tale doesn’t?
And when we looked to see if the beanstalk was
there…unfortunately it wasn’t.
