FAIRY TALES

     Some people live their whole lives while failing to even partially realize the stories of our youth are words of our elders wisdom.  There’s the tale of Cinderella’s hope to encourage your breath.  There’s the tale of Pinocchio to discourage you from falsehood.  The stories of our youth are words from our kingdom, words from our wise.

     There’s my old favorite drawn from the story of Christ:

‘Mary had a little lamb

His fleece was white as snow

And everywhere that Mary went

The lamb was sure to go…’

     And then there’s the tale of the fallen hero.  The tale of all who fail to become Nero.

     The failed life:

‘Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall

Humpty Dumpty had a great fall

All the king’s horses and all the king’s men

Couldn’t put Humpty together again’

And to sum it all up.  The story of all of us.

     The truth in the end:

‘Ring around the rosie,

A pocket full of posies,

Ashes! Ashes!

We all fall down’

 

     Human life is not as original as you think.
