The Cd Fairy

[Guest Vieja]

This is quite a bit out of season but I have massaged it and tweaked it about as much as I can so here it is.

Twas in the park just after dark

on a wintry Halloween

The moon rode high in a starlit sky

no one else in the park could be seen

Ghosts and goblins were abroad in the night

I heard them screech and cry out

But here in the park all was serene

Not another soul was about

I prowled the dark pathways

and smelled the damp earth

Then I chuckled a little

Though feeling no mirth

For I lived in that half world

Quite hidden away

Though I worked as a man

Twas en-femme I would play

But my play was in secret

For no one may know

Of my covert longing

My desire to show

Then I spied all alone on a bench made of stone

A hairy cross dressing man

I paused in surprise that I was not alone

A late night meeting was not in my plan

His dress was gorgeous, his shoes divine

Though his wig was a bloody mess

And tears ran down his pallid cheeks

He was clearly in great distress

I turned to leave, I felt that I should

But he turned to face me then gazed where I stood

He raised his arms wide in a sign of despair

Then he spoke in a tone full of sorrow and care

"Oh I am a lumberjack husky and strong

With a face that would stop a clock

But I love the feel of satin and lace

And the cling of a nylon frock"

Then he raised his eyes to the moon up above

And spoke this terrible prayer

"I would trade my soul if for just one night

I could pass as a lady fair"

Then a hush fell over the park where we stood

And an evil hiss filled the air

Two bright red eyes glowed from out of the brush

A demon looked out from his lair

Then the odor of brimstone came harsh on the breeze

And a darkling form stepped out from the trees

I froze where I stood unable to speak

And when I tried there came only a squeak

Then a soft lambent glow encircled us both

The demon's red eyes turned to black

And the air around us was sweet and clean

I had turned to flee but looked back

Before us a vision of loveliness stood

Her manner calm and serene

Her voice like an angel's chorus

I knew not what this could mean

"Good sir" she said, and smiled all the while,

"I know you have labored to live your dream

But now I think you must understand

That your pathway was too extreme"

"For I am the CD Fairy

I wander the earth to find

Souls like you who are weary and sad

But who's dream is fully defined"

"Go forth in your little black dress tonight

And claim the prize that you've won

And every year on this hallowed eve

The deed once again may be done

Then I watched as his body became slim and lithe

All the muscles and lumps were gone

The little black dress fit just like his skin

And his joy he expressed with a moan

He ran from the park and never looked back

As I watched from behind a tree

The fairy was gone I was all alone

And I cried aloud WHY NOT ME(/size]
