ONCE UPON A TIME
Once upon a fairy tale,
Once upon a magic rhyme,
Once upon and long ago,
Once upon another time,
Dragons lived upon the earth,
Mermaids swam under the seas,
Talking fish granted wishes,
Beanstalks grew from magic beans,
And there lived a red-capped girl
In a cabin by a brook;
Once upon a fairy tale,
Ever after in my book.
