~Fairy tales are more than true; not because they tell us that dragons exist, but because they tell us that dragons can be beaten~ G.K. Chesterton


Mary had a little goat,
She made into a furry coat,
Now Mary goes to school each day
And makes bills she cannot pay.

Mary sold her furry coat,
And bought another little goat;
But little did this Mary know,
The friends you buy, they come and go.

Now Mary's left a friendless fool,
Who never goes against the rule,
With false words she buys her friends,
And wonders why her friendships end.

Oh, Mary, why do you look but never see,
All the priceless things are free,
I see that endless smile you wear,
But I know it doesn't mean you care.
Open up your eyes, see life is not a lie--
Lives end, but kindness never dies.
