There was an island once,
And on that island lived a dunce,
The island was ruled by Aphrodite,
She was strong, she was mighty.
The dunce was handsome with black hair,
Eyes of blue, skin of fair,
Every mother wished - to give away her daughter
To the princely dunce - who always said “Not her.’
So the mothers’ prayed to Aphrodite,
Every sunny day and every darky nighty,
Aphrodite heard
and appeared in the dunce’s dream,
She sounded like a bird,
And smelled like ice cream.
She told him to marry a girl who was modest
He could not agree for he now loved the goddess
Denied of her love, he sculpted her form
His love undeniably was outside the norm.
To the marble statue the dunce gave his heart
And asked to be transformed into stone fine art
But the goddess in pity replied “It cannot be so”
And to the stone imparted life from head to toe
my favorite!
