Favorite Quote:
"If you aren't cute, you may as well be clever."-David Sedaris.


There once was a girl named Alice

Who for her normal life held great malice

She fell down a hole

And now her new goal

Is to defeat the queen who is quite callous.

-----

The Atreides family lived cross the sands

Grew fearful of enemy hands

Worms terrorize beneath

And swords are unsheathed

As families fight for their stands.

---

There once was a thane of Cawdor

Who hated his friend with ardor

He was scared by some witches

And wanting more riches

He decided to commit mur-dor.

---

There once was a king, not a greaser

Who employed many a gieser

His men did betray

And stabbed all away

And he said "Et tu, Brute, then fall Caesar."

---

There once were a pair in Verona

Of regal birth and high persona

They fell in love madly,

But things ended badly.

And now they're entombed in the stone-a.

----

There once was a ship called the Heart of Gold

Who onboard had a crew quite bold

An alien, two humanoids

One paranoid android

Crossing the galaxy and making tales told.

---

There once was a young Dutch prince

Whose father did try to convince

To murder his brother

Then one death after the other

Now almost all characters are missed.

---

There once was a young boy named Pan

The youngest in all of the land

He would steal away kids

And growing up he forbid

And he may have tried to eat hands.
