Mythical creatures

The woman for me rides a unicorn to the end of the rainbow

singing stories of true love to a leprechaun

who jabs his elbow in a genies side as to say get a load of this one

the genie doesn’t notice my lovely

he is too busy already granting wishes to the tooth fairy for a money tree.

The Loch Ness monster ran off with Bigfoot to Eden

not leaving any directions about how to get there

and the dragon sleeps tonight at the feet of a giant who is getting drunk

pounding his fist on a table

with the Holy Grail in hand

a treasure map in the other

A Sphinx put out the fire

from which the phoenix was to be reborn

with water from the fountain of youth                  

Zeus and Thor are arguing about whose turn it is to chuck bolts of lighting at me

and Santa brings the Easter bunny eggs from the golden goose

so he can front god’s son some credit

but Jesus is staying in a losing hand of poker to the devil for my soul
