Don't feel glum, don't feel sad.
This potion will be the most delicious,
Scrumptous you have had.
We've added five green frogs legs,
6 toads warts, 2 mice eyes.
a four eyed spider, bat's blood,
and a boiling cup of flies.
3 scales from puff the dragon,
2 burger patties and fries,
some 2 year old toenails and,
over the top whispered some lies.
We boiled it til it bubbled.
Let it sit for just a bit.
Now its just the right temperature
" Prudence...take a little sip.
See, look at Magical Marvin,
now take a look at me!
Our figures sublime, power great!
Soon like us you'll be."
So Prudence took a sip
and her face began to twitch
her body started dancing
she vanished into mist.
and there before them stood,
(Marvin and Gertie blinked their eyes!)
Prudence as pretty as ever
could win a beauty pageant prize!!!
You see poor Gertie and Marvin
were getting on in years.
They forgot to wear their glasses
Poor prudence was in tears.
So the two set to work
to make a potion that would undo
the damage they had done
that made Prudence feel so blue!
They worked for 12 hours straight!!!
and finally got it right.
Prudence took a little sip
then disappeared out of sight.
Marvin and Gertie were surprised
by a knock upon the door,
for there stood Prudence
just as she was before.
a valuable lesson was learnt
by the magical three.
Be happy with who you are,
You be you, and I'll be me!

An absolutely wonderful poem
Be happy with who you are,
You be you, and I'll be me!
and a perfect ending for children ... and adults too! :o)
Fun poem, but the rhythm did go a bit off in some of the verses...Do you always try reading them aloud, after you've written them? I find that helps iron out any little hiccups in the pace of the whole thing. Hope you don't mind a handy hint from a fellow rhymester...
Wonderful with a wonderful moral -- love the whole recipe
"3 scales from puff the dragon,
2 burger patties and fries,
some 2 year old toenails and,
over the top whispered some lies."
