OF CHARM AND FAIRIES

Stepmothers, fairies and witches are what fairy tales talk about

They are the characters girls love to confess reading in a big shout.

To me, the Cinderella story is the best fairy tale ever

Before that, no one would’ve believed in fairies, no never!

Fairy tale romances are the stuff of girlish dreams,

Charming princes riding on stallions, to carry away little ones over moon beams,

The story of Red Riding Hood follows close behind,

Little girls grow up keeping these stories tucked inside the mind.

Prince Charles of the royal family married Lady Diana,

Putting an end to speculations and fairy tales - arcana.

But we read fairy tales because they take us away from reality –

Contrary to social truths, they mingle the good with the evil in holy amity.

Fairy tales will be there so long as men continue to read and listen to books

These stories have become part of our social cosmology, by sinker and hooks.
