Very, very long ago
And once upon a time
I wrote a silly poem
That had no rhythm or rhyme
The words were really silly
And made no sense at all
And whosoever heard it
Would either cry or bawl
They would all yell at me
And ask me to please stop
But I refused to believe
That my poem was a flop
I made many copies of it
And stuck them on pizzas and pies
But then no one would eat them
And they would attract just flies
So I read it to trees and flowers
And I read it to the skies
I read it to imps and fairies
Who I felt were more wise
They pondered and wondered
At what my poem meant
They had meetings over it
And many a weeks they spent
But since they never understood
They decided not to take stress
They accepted and awarded me
And declared my silly poem the best
