Sense Sonnet - Acher

 Unhappily Ever After?

The "Tom Thumb" fairy tale did end

Happy, but with Tom still unwed.

As it turned out, sequel did send

Me, tiny Jeannie, which then led

To Tom and me falling in love.

But on the day of wedding, woe,

A mean old witch flew from above,

Bottled me up, and then did throw

Me in the ocean far away,

Where in the waves I bob about,

So sadly many a night and day.

My Tom must be sad too, no doubt.

Hoping my Tom does rescue me,

This Jeannie in a bottle be.
