The Story Of The Little Green Goblin (Children's poem)

(Collab with Silvia)

Once upon a time, in a country far, far away,
lived folks so gentle, unicorns, elves, goblins, dragons,
residing peacefully, in a land of magical harmony,
sheltered from the weather in brightly painted wagons.

In this world of magic, all creatures had their place.
A maze, filled with activity throughout the day.
From early dawn, when they gathered their food,
til sundown around the fire, dancing the night away.

How could one wish to leave such a place, you'd say.
Still one little green goblin decided it was for the best,
if he gathered his pitiful belongings and went away.
So early one morning he and his wagon headed west.

Westward to the land of opportunity, so he thought.
Things will be better there, no more ridicule for being green.
Being different than all the others left behind, felt so out of place.
His hopes were high, he would fit in, no one would be mean.

It wasn't long before the little green goblin discovered
things were no different than before, he was treated the same.
Looking within, realized perhaps it was him and he should change.
A hard lesson was learned: happiness comes from within, life is not a game.
