Green Eyed Monster
Two lovers smitten, cruel sister bitten
by envy, her tantrum, a spell newly written
‘This shall be so, when next they shall meet
His one desire, to roast her and eat
One empty flagon, then the unwary
He shall be dragon, she shall be fairy
Monster shall never know love with a sprite
Dragon shall see her as supper this night
Their love shall falter and she’ll be his snack
And he shall be mine when I change him back
For he shall think twice ’fore next time he picks
A lover whose sister is this dark witch.’
And yet in spite of her cruel drunken night
At first light those lovers shared their first flight
One dragon, one fairy, neither was prey
For true love it seems shall find its own way
