Back,

A long time ago,

When the residents

Of Faerie

Still lived in this realm,

There lived

A jester

Born of a Liche

And a resident

Of FaerieÉ

This jester,

She was very powerful,

And was called to the courts

Of PharaohÉ

There seemed no end

To the pleasures

She gave

To PharaohÉ

Then, for some reason,

Pharaoh

Got angry with herÑ

And had her sent

To be killedÉ

But she didnÕt stay

Dead for very longÉ

When the Greeks came,

She left for GreeceÉ

And then to Rome

And various city-states

Throughout the Middle Ages,

The Dark Ages,

And the RenaissanceÉ

Up until today,

When she sailed

To America

And settled

In the forest.

And there,

I have told

You a story

Of ancient

Times.

Anyone have

A question

Before I sleep?

The alien zombie

Reaches over

And sinks her claws

Into my neck.

Yes.

My Love

Asks,

ÒIs this you?Ó

She releases

Her claws

From my neck.

Yes, Jason,

ItÕs true.

I can feel

His simple smile,

Even behind

That maskÉ
