Mother Goose

Speak you not of love!
Your adolescent dreams
Filled with faery-tale themes,
Of princes, charming and bold.
Where princesses never grow old.
And happily ever after
Are the lives light with laughter.
The Grimms, they were pulling your leg--
Its all just a giant goose egg.
Albeit, one glittring of gold.
Speak you not of love.
