Titania

THREE WORD WEDNESDAY

We are asked to use the words in blue.

TITANIA

I hid within a hollow oak and peered into the night,

When the moon was in its glory and all the stars were bright.

And there I saw Titania, with all her retinue,

Playing among the fairies 'neath a sky of midnight blue.

All was in perfect harmony upon the grassy green,

And never before had I beheld such a strangely haunting scene.

So dainty were the fairies that they seemed but gosssamer-light,

So abandoned were the bodies as their flesh lit-up the night!

I entered in the spirit of this magical array,

And in a state of abandon I danced the night away.

Then I awoke still tied, alas, to my heavy human frame,

But I had known a glory that I cannot even name.

Oh world of dreams, you tantalise me, with your might-have-been;

Each night I long for my return to the realm of the Fairy Queen.

IN THE EYE OF THE BEHOLDER!

Cute little dolls! Such cute little dolls!

Colourful, cuddly, the lot.

They were in a shop window and I passed them by,

Attracted to them on the spot!

Not really authentic, I'm sure, yet it seems

The beads were authentic enough.

And the rings round the neck? Surely those, in the flesh,

Would make life quite incredibly tough.

Imagine an itch you're not able to scratch!

Imagine some grime you can't reach!

Imagine a larynx so twisted and stretched

That it does funny things to your speech!

But, below, you can see how the whole thing is done;

How the little girls start with one ring

Then increase the number until they're like Mum,

And they sport the ultimate thing!

Maybe I shouldn't judge! It could be they're OK

With this 'torture' as it seems to us!

But I know for a fact that I just couldn't cope!

I'd make a most terrible fuss!
