Ella’s Luck
Once there was a confused princess named Ella
She was too charming and sweet like vanilla
While her perfume smelled fruity
Everyone saw her beauty
Since she was such a cutie
Being pretty was her duty
Ella got up everyday
In the morning of each May
To see a stunning white day
That looked like a filled seashore bay
The maids would greet merrily
As animals sing voluntarily
Though there was an envious neighbor
Whose job was to play the tabor
Hating the fact that she did much labor
A ploy was made to kill Ella with a saber
The ugly neighbor called Grace
Made herself a ghost face
Ella was walking fast with much pace
Looking at the forest dreaming in space
Grace attacked quickly from behind
Though Ella had a confused mind
Ella thought she was being kind
So she looked at Grace inclined
The saber twirled without success
It seemed to cause a lot of stress
However Ella thought she was blessed
Until Ella’s arm was a big mess
Though Grace forgot the forest animals did not like blood
So the mythical creatures swooped and made a large thud
Many jasmines and petunias peeked through its bud
The evil neighbor was dead by the animal flood
Ella was bought by the creatures to the healing spring
That worked when given the right answer to the thing
The spring asked them, “What goes around and around but never stops?”
The spider guessed a road runner and the squirrel of a bunny hop
Bimbo the deer presumed the answer to be a stop and shop
But the wise owl guessed a circle and the spring beamed with a plop
The phoenix helped Ella drink the water with care
So she gulped it down rapidly with so much air
The wound restored itself showing her skin color fair
Ella stood confused and went home without despair
The forest animals ran back to their protection
In good spirits toward all different directions
Dead Grace was taken by the Gods
Ella had overcome the odds
