One Little Unicorn
Underneath a waterfall,
Upon a golden throne,
There sat one little unicorn
Playing all alone.
"Perhaps it's time to venture out
And find myself a chum,"
The unicorn thought to herself.
"Being by myself is glum."
And so, the little unicorn
Pranced into a vale
And promptly found two fairies
Along an orchid trail.
"Come play with us," the fairies laughed.
"Let's dance under the sun."
Three dragons wandered down the path
And joined in all the fun.
Soon, four fauns meandered by
Playing on lute and lyre.
Then five nymphs started singing
And six sprites joined the choir.
Seven griffins brought a feast
Which eight dwarves gobbled down
With the help of nine young centaurs
All mottled white and brown.
Finally, ten mermaids
Rose from the river bed
And placed water-lily laurels
On everybody's head.
"Oh, what a day! It's been so grand,"
The unicorn softly sighed.
"Friends make each day better,"
A fairy quick replied.
And so, the little unicorn
She counted all her friends.
And you can do the same
For this story's at an end.
