In a land where chocolate grows
Right off of the trees
There is a girl with honey hair
That grows down to her knees
And though I haven’t met her yet
They talk about her oft
The azure eyed girl wonder known as
The Great Warm and Soft
Who nought complains or misbehaves
Or has farts that are smelly
It’s said great things will happen if
You touch her silky belly
An evil witch looked down on her
And from her lair she cried
For she was wicked so to her
Sweet belly was denied
And so she schemed and plotted how
She’d leave her evil loft
And get her hands on the princess
Called The Great Warm and Soft
She hired flying monkeys blasted
Heavy metal music
And went down to the fairy lands
A-flying on her broomstick
And when the guards did spy her there
They went in to attack
But Princess came to rescue her
And ordered them ‘Stand back’
It may have been the Princess blessed
With her pure heart of gold
Or she felt bad because the witch
Was really really old
But either way forward she stepped
Divinity inspired
And offered to the cruel witch that
Of which she most desired
And you ask what did happen then?
The Princess’s people say
That the witch’s small cold heart
Grew 3 sizes that day
And people celebrated this
And stocks and bonds did swell
And global warming was no more
And unemployment fell
And if the two were BFFs
We never did find out
As villagers too late did warn
“Watch out for that house!!”
Happy Birthday to My Little Anjelicat!
The Princess and The Witch in happier times…just seconds before the house

Precious photo. Happy bday to her!
Thank you! Will do!
A good fairytale that affects stocks and bonds, an unbeatable combination. Happy birthday to her!
yes, well bridging the gap of relatibility for children and adults!! Thanks, I’ll pass it on!
Happy Birthday, Princess! See? There is still hope. Even witches with cold hearts can turn warm and soft on special occasions!
Right, and then they get crushed by houses….
Very nice Marissa, and a Very Happy Birthday to your Princess! 🙂
Thank you Paola!
Have quite the loveliest birthday young lady…and tell you’re mum she writes splendidly!
Very sweet Mike! I knew you had it in you…somewhere…deeply buried…
NOT THE HOUSE! Things were going so strong!
Let the Princess know many of us are wishing her a happy one 😀
Yes, well fate intervened in a tragic way! Will pass on birthday wishes, thank you!
Happy Birthday, Princess! I hope that she has a wonderful day.
Thank you Rob!!
What a lovely verse for your girl and yes, I picked up on that silky belly reference we were discussing the other day! Alas, now I know that you and I can never meet…..you are SO THIN! I am afraid I would look like one of those bison I posted on if I stood next to you! Happy B-day to your daughter and that shot of the two of you is a keeper for sure!
Oh yes, actually that conversation helped inspire this verse. I was thinking of going in this whole fairy tale princess direction, but after the conversation, started thinking about the significance of the miraculous belly! I probably should have credited you!! Silly me!! Well, if we ever were close enough to meet each other, I would only hope that we could look beyond outward appearances because you seem to be a truly lovely person.
You are sweet and I’ll definitely meet you when we come out there next year….you’re already on my itinerary!
Oh yes, I’m looking forward to it!
Happy Birthday to the Princess!!! Your Mom is the greatest!! Just sayin’!! Love, Amy ❤
I’ll will pass on your kind words…all of them, ha, ha!!
Happy Birthday Princess! And Marissa that was so beautiful…a heart of pure gold can transform anything….lovely
Very sweet! Thank you Nimi! I will pass on your kind words!
I love this poem … I’m such a softie for fairy tales … and the lovely photo of you and your daughter. You are both gorgeous!!
… tell me more about this land where chocolate grows. Start with – where, exactly?!!! You know, just for future reference, in case of … emergency ….
Thank you so much for the kind words Joanne! As for the land where chocolate grows…I think that would be my refrigerator…but beware, it is also prone to landslides…and there are two evil monkeys on guard at all times…
Damn – those evil monkeys seems to be everywhere!!
Tell me about it!
Did Dorothy steal her slippers? Or did Goldilocks eat all her porridge?
You’ll have to watch the movie Don!
Happy Birthday to your Angelicat!!!! Thank heaves for the princess, because we need this kind of saving!!!!
Yes, we certainly do. I will pass on your well wishes to the princess!
One of your most creative ever! What is it a prequel to?
Yes, the title was a bit of an afterthought. Wizard of Oz…cause you know, the opening in Oz is after the house crushes the Wicked Witch of the West’s sister.
I don’t know how I missed this one. Double Awesome to the Max. 🙂
Better late than never. Thank you kindly!
Aww, Happy Birthday to your princess! ❤ She's so pretty, just like her mama!
Thank you Rachel! You are too kind! I will pass on the message to the Princess!
