By Kristen Brady, Emma Gross, and Rachel Tankersley

Once upon a time,In the beautiful land of Athens,Two lovers pinedTo happily live together.

They wanted to wed,But Hermia’s father said no.She must share her bedWith the man he had picked.

Went by the nameDemetrius, but didn’t love herMerely wanted fameand fortune from her father

Tall and fair as a daisyHer name was HelenaShe loved Demetrius like crazybut her love was unreturned.

Lysander and Hermia met in the woodTo pursue their heart’s true desire.Lysander’s aunt understoodThat they needed to be together.

Helena sounded the alarmAnd told Demetrius the plan.He threatened to do her harmBut into the forest she followed.

The fairies, wanting to give aid,Sprinkled magic dust into their eyes.But quite the commotion they made.Causing them a fluster.

The tables had turned;No longer did they want Hermia.Now Helena had earned,the two suitors’ love.

Realizing their mistakethe fairies aimed to fixand mend the hearts that did break,righting what was wrong

The next morning the were foundby Theseus and his lovehe allowed them to be boundin holy matrimony
