Deep Within the Forest<br />
“Wake up, wake up, Star.<br />
The sun is shining and the birds singing.<br />
Come, come now.<br />
Walk with your horn high.”<br />
“We unicorns are proud,<br />
So let’s go, time’s a wastin’”.<br />
“But Sky, I don’t want to,<br />
I don’t want to save the Majesty’s son.”<br />
Sky was aghast at what her friend had just said.<br />
Her Majesty’s son was captured by the werewolves,<br />
And a reward was being offered:<br />
Marriage to whoever brought back her son.<br />
Sky was a persuasive talker,<br />
So soon Star was following her like an obedient dog.<br />
Through the forest they trotted,<br />
Until the werewolf was spotted.<br />
“Oh my!” said Star.<br />
“Good Golly!” said Sky.<br />
Before their eyes was the werewolf.<br />
Its bulging eyes staring back at them.<br />
What did we get ourselves into? murmured Sky,<br />
Who was having second thoughts.<br />
But then she looked into the eyes of the captive.<br />
They were so hopeful, how could she not help him?<br />
She told Star to stand back.<br />
With a swish of her mane,<br />
And a ferocious buck,<br />
She summoned all the power inside of her.<br />
A sudden scream pierced through the dense forest<br />
growth.<br />
Before Sky’s eyes was the werewolf,<br />
Its breaths becoming shallower by the minute.<br />
Up arose the son, who galloped to Sky’s side.<br />
Then they leisurely walked back toward the palace.<br />
Her Majesty greeted them with a grateful whinny.<br />
A big feast soon followed for Star and Sky.<br />
And the next day, Sky and the son were married.<br />
