Tadadee-da-da-da-dah
Are you asleep, love?... Are you asleep! ?...
Love. Are you asleep ?
Oh, I think someone Is looking for her
bedtime story, is she? How about your
favourite? Sleeping Beauty. Now, where is
it? Let me see.
Once upon a time ina kingdom far away,
a princess was born, and she was very
beautiful, so they called her Beauty.
Beauty was indeed very beautiful, just
like yourself, love. ut she was soon to
learn that when it comes to the harsher
lessons of this life, beauty is not going to
get you very far, very far, very...
Anyway, soon as was the day of her
christening and everybody in the kingdom
had gathered for this joyful occasion,
including the lovely pretty fairies of theforest, who are soon to be eauty's
glamorous god-mothers. Oh yes, everyone
was invited to this christening, Everyone,
that Is, except maybe the one person who
might have done with the day out.
Do you know who that was, do you? I'll tell
you, It was the elderly fairy, and do you
know why nobody had thought to invite the
elderly fairy, love? Well I'll tell you, it's
because she was old and decrepit and not
one but useful in the eyes of other
younger and more exciting fairies who all
still have their muscle tone.
Oh, let's not invite this stinking old fairy,
they probably said, she smells of dirty bed
sheets, and all she ever talks about ts her
bad knee, Sure, she would probably fall
asleep after 10 minutes anyway. Why
should we care about someone who spenther life working on behalf of the entire
community? So the elderly fairy felt a
little bit rejected and left out as... as well
she might.
So she decided she'd show that child a
thing or two about how it feels to be old
and constantly sleepy. First of all she
surprised them by appearing in the
middle of their la-dee-dah christening
party in a huge cloud of toxic green
smoke, Hea, ha, ha, ha. OF course they had
their excuses as so why they hadn't
bothered inviting her. Oh, I thought you
wouldn't want be out and about with your
knee giving you so much trouble, said the
queen, I thought you died months ago
said one of the stupid young fairies.
Now, do you think the elderly fairy being
older and wiser was able to forgive them?Don't be ridiculous, of course she wasn't!
She loomed over the cradle ina menacing
manner and laughed for a very long time,
Hahaha he... It was for longer than that,
Oooh, look at you, aren't you great with
your smooth complexions and your social
calendars, dancing around on your
working legs! You make me sick and you
look at me and you find me so old and
repulsive, Well, I've learnt a thing or two
in my time. Try this on for size and with
that she put a terrible curse on the party
that each and everyone of them would die
in the instant they ever fell asleep. Ha ha
ha ha...
All right, so love, that's me for tonight.
You sleep well and I'll see you in the
morning... with the help of God.Sleep...go to sleep...Go to sleeeeep...If
they ever fell asleep... They would
die...They would die...They would die die
die die... weren't good enough for them...
