a warning against fairy stories

mother's always warn
pf wolves in sheep's clothes,
men with eyebrows that meet
in the middle,
and anyone who calls
the violin, 'fiddle'.

beware
the golden hair,
the brown owl's eyes -
do not be fooled,
remember, always, the golden rule!

for there is no riddle,
it's written in stone
somewhere (over there)
'every (wo)man is an island,
not one of a pair'.
