Happily Ever After
"Happily ever after" is a farmer's fairy tale:
harvesting tears and laughter,
which ever may avail.
"Happily ever after" is a psychic's platitude.
Good fortune or disaster
is often attitude.
"Happily ever after" is a visionary's scheme
Bliss is a non sequitur:
contradictory dream.
"Happily ever after" is an illusionist's act.
A knavery admixture:
dupery to the fact.
"Happily ever after" is a lover's fantasy.
Distortions in caricature:
a faulty heresy.
"Happily ever after" for many has come and gone.
Of kismet each is master:
a consequential spawn.
