The story of a far away land

Long ago, there was a far away land,
where almost no one would lend a helping hand.
 the adults were selfish and full of themselves,
never bothering to clean floors or dust shelves.
because with enjoying themselves they were never done,
all day the men would drink and have fun.

The women were even worse,
always worried about their hair and purse.
 but the children, Ah! the children were good!
They never cried or bothered, and they were never rude!
they were helpful and kind, loving and caring,
always happily laughing and sharing!
but were they rewarded for their kindness? No way!
Instead they had to cook and scrub all day!
 the self-centred grown-ups made them do all the work,
 while all they did was sit and smirk.
who would change this? No one would.
not one of the grown-ups was kind and good!
Then, one day, out of the blue,
came strangers: there were two!
 they had magical powers, that could:
turn evil and bad into good!

it was wonderful, what the strangers did to that land,
now everyone would lend a helping hand!
now the people were always singing and sharing,
always looking out for each other, ever so caring!
so now in that land the people were happy,
never, ever, rude, mean or snappy!
 So this is the story of a far away land,
and how it's people learnt to lend a helping hand.
