The tunnels brush borders where mortals grow
The virtue and order of Brussels (the order of mankind) subtle are
Lavishing shabby living deep in the furrows
Fairies and goblins galore who sing and wail
All so deep down in the levies whimsy-dale
And children run through the tree tunnel
Trying to reach the end but rumor has it
Somewhere in the middle or amongst a dim light
Children deepen and become converted
Hair begins to grow, oh so, much longer
Fingernails sharpen and added hunger
Toenails yellow from muddy wet dirt
Switching from boys to men and then
Sometimes switching from boys to women
Fairies come to dust shiny fairly dusty things
Faces once plump become downright fat and detestable
And bodies all girlie become hairy and like older yearlings
Boys end having odd bulbous noses that flake
Reshaping orientation and finding away back
Never thought modifications tweak us away
But anything is possible in the tunneling of brush
Leaving the tunnels, the pretty are rough and gruff
Leaving the tunnels, the oh so ugly are then pretty
The fairies giggle at their high fashion designers abilities
A long runway showing off the humankind
Oh my goodness- we are not handsome or ~
very pretty
