Oh once there was an Ice Queen
who was not very nice
she filled her home with toddlers
old crows and some mice
One toddler was of pure heart
Lonely was her name
So the Ice Queen made sure
She'd never be the same
She trained her other toddlers
to be nasty mean and cruel
while she sat on her ice throne
ordering their gruel
Lucas was her Hench tot
a sweet looking lad
until she turn his heart
evil black and bad !
But time did come to rescue
Lonely from her fate
Of staying with the Ice queen
living in all that hate
Now Lonely lives in Ireland
running just to play
Not like at the Ice Queen's
when she'd run to hide away
And Lucas lives in the village
his nightmares nearly gone
Of when he was forced to be horrid
and live in all that pong!
Now their beds are comfy
their food all warm and nice
no more sleeping on sacks
and chewing on dead mice!
But rumour's start to rumble
that Icy's coming back
she's filling her home with toddlers
and we all remember that!

ReplyDeleteI hope our Queenie is a reformed character. Well, she MUST BE, mustn't she? Otherwise the Sasha Social Services would not have allowed her to asopt again.

He will never change :) Thank you for posting pictures of James...nice to see him again...but isn't a tad warm in that outfit!!
ReplyDelete:) Thank you , it came to me surprisingly easy , I wonder why? ;)) Yes Lonely's now having a wonderful childhood in Ireland and Yes Lucas does slip now and again... but we are winning through. :)
DeleteJames is going through his poetry stage and thinks he looks cool even if the sweats dripping off him! I think if the heat returns he may just cave and change!
Great poem! She may be the root of all evil, but she's the evil that I'm rooting for!
