Shopping in Paradise : Irony

written by Poet : EC


Shopalcoholic as I am I go shopping in Fairyland
Seven Swan Brothers, 1 frog prince and 1 witch
all very cheap to a respected reader like me
they even give me an ogre for free
thus spirited the shoppingbag walks by itself
whoever we meet envy me my purchase
before we get home I've resold the load to a poet-friend
he dreams of writing new endings to all fairy tales
but I have gone shopping in Paradise
Ten Commandments, 1 apple tree and 1 snake
being a good soul they give me an Archangel for free
now the shoppingbag is a heavy load
this time nobody envies me my purchase
also I never get back home
no, I lose my way somewhere in Genesis
