…and they lived happily ever after

the shoe fit
it was a whirlwind engagement
the wedding of the century
(we’re talking partridges in pear trees and lords a leaping here)
and the honeymoon…well
poor Cindy…
didn’t take long
for her to discover
her prince
had a nasty foot fetish
happily ever after?
like the American dream 
may she rest in pieces 
✨✨✨✨
where am I? who am I? what…? 
wouldn’t you like to know
follow the yellow brick road they said
when the stocks go low
it’s time to buy
It’s exactly as we planned
I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore
✨✨✨✨
Mary’s little lamb 
was fleeced by old McDonald
while Humpty Dumpty took a fall
from the tallest wall in the history of walls 
bye bye miss America 
France wants their statue back
it’s raining helicopters and jets
can my cat give me the bird flu
we’ll see what happens
in two weeks
that’s the $64,000 question 
we already know the answer
history on repeat…no royalties

Try also to incorporate at least one abstract concept – for example, desire or sorrow or pride or whimsy.
