Hiya! This was born out of Sparrow's excellent inaugural (online) Writer's Space Workshop. Thank you Sparrow!
One of our helpful exercises was a "Reach 500 words first" contest. Sadly, I handwrote, so I didn't get to 500 words, but my verbal vomit seemed to create a random ditty/ballad that I'm amazed came out of my brain! Feel free to critique, rewrite, or pose questions. Like I said, I'm simply amazed that it actually makes some(what) sense!
Oh here's a tale, a merry old tale,
A tale of wind and fire
A tale so long, a tale so short
A tale of fire and flam.
She set out for a chat one day
A chat with Gammer Grumpy
She said "Oh Gammer, dear,
Oh Gammer, dear,
how do I share my fire?"
And Gammer said "Oh Child, dear
Oh child dear,
The best way
is to share a tale."
