The Opening to the Bell's Lament

Twas a long, long night, longer now than it seems,

In a place everyone has seen in their dreams...

For this story takes place in a nightmare before told,

You'll meet many friends, some new and some old.

Now you're probably wondr'ing what that has to do with this tale?

Well than, you'll just have to wait and see!

For this story tells of a spirit of old,

A two-tailed cat, a feline not sold.

She had lost her way amongst the trees of time,

Where holidays come from! Well that's not a new rhyme.

But this event happened when that spirit lost her way,

When that cat stumbled into a world where skeletons play...


Well, the first part of my TNBC fanfiction has its own little poetic opening.

You'll see more of this in the future.

As always, The Nightmare Before Christmas belongs to Tim Burton.

My Own Characters Belong to Me.
