Disclaimer: I do not own the movie or the actors/actresses/puppets used in the film.

Right. So, I wrote this in 8th grade, about three or four years ago. It was originally uploaded in 2007, so yeah, it was around three years. Anyway, I'm reposting this because I'm moving a few of my stories over to this account rather than having them spread about the place chaotically- it only serves to make a mess, and I'd like to think the goblins and their chickens do a mighty fine job of that on their own.

As usual, feel free to share your opinion: if it sucks, tell me! If it's something you enjoy, don't be afraid to speak up.

You decide if this is some all-seeing narrator during the movie, or if it's one of the characters themselves. Either way, whatever works for you is fine with me!

[insert line break here]

Thirteen hours, no time to spare:

Lies and secrets, it isn't fair.

Masquerade inside a crystal ball;

Break the glass and watch them fall.

'Through dangers untold'

Just say the lines,

Hurry now, before your brother is mine!

Magic dances and a baby cries,

The less you do, the more time flies.

Firies screaming 'take off your head!'

A journey through dreams,

Then you're safe in your bed.

Oh no! Listen! The clock has chimed!

Gates to the city you must find.

Inside the castle you wander around;

You've lost your sense of up and down!

The offers are made, the lines are said:

You've beaten the King-

or was it all in your head?
