Once upon a Thrice
There was a Crooked House
That had a Crooked Walk
That ended in a Crooked Box
Where Once upon a Thrice I left letters for a wonderous Girl

The Letters were Metered
Those Letters each Lined
Each in their own turn
Courting Symmetry's Endrhyme
Each for that Mysterious Girl of
every-time

Once upon the Snows
Once upon the Downpours
Once upon the Still of Solem Nights
I Crept with care to the Box's Crooked Door
All for a chance to speak in that Crooked World

Perhaps with more than thrice I began to dream of a Crooked Kiss
Mayhaps a threefold Embrace as perfect as Pearl
So I left a Strand with my name as Charm in the Crooked Box without Harm
In my own Box that day I discovered Strand tied to noose, name left
to hang

Once Upon a Thrice
I learned that a Crooked World
Doesn't make a Crooked Girl
Once Upon a Thrice
