The King and the Witch

Once upon a time, in a land far away
A mighty king sat upon his throne and looked out over his kingdom.
The grass was green, the sky was blue and the sun was like a big yellow balloon high above the sea!

The king looked at his shiny black shoes with their silver buckles.
He looked at his socks with their ribbons and bows!
He looked at his trousers, his nice white shirt.
He looked at his cloak with the fur round the edge.
He felt for his crown, on his head it was wedged.

Off went the king for a walk in the city.
He noticed a clown who was singing a ditty.
He saw an old lady with her hair in a bun when all of a sudden he decided to run! He ran down the lane holding on to his crown.
He ran through the forest where no one was known.
His shoe got all muddy when he fell in a ditch and you never guess what, he was caught by a witch!

The witch took his crown and his cloak and his socks, she took off his shoes and she cut of his locks!
"Leave me alone!" cried the king to the witch as she washed of the mud on his shoes from the ditch.
"Not on your Nelly!" said the witch to the king.
"I've something to do that's about to begin."
"And what might that be?" asked the King in despair.
"For Gods sake old woman, you've cut off my hair!"

He waited and watched while the witch did her bit, dancing and singing and having a fit.
She flung herself here, she flung herself there she jumped over the table and into the air.
Shrieking and
laughing and singing with glee, the witch became airy and fairy and free.

The next thing you know the king was in love and married the fairy, god sent from above!
He looked at his shoes all shiny and clean and declared that his shoes were the cleanest he'd seen.
He looked at his wife with their baby princess and he knew all at once that he'd married the best.
At night she would dance beneath the moonlight, every now and again she would give him a fright.
He looked at the grass and the sky and sun, he remembered the day he went for a run.

Once upon a time in a land far away, there was a king on his throne, so they say
