Ben and Hazel and Jack
Hazel Evans of Fairfold
And her brother, Ben, too,
Were born to two artists
Who had way too much to do.
Hazel and Ben grew up
Wild and completely free,
But there parents were very careless,
So the kids looked for something to eat.
Those kids were resourceful
And clever to boot.
They gathered edible plants
And made their own soup.
They met a boy named Jack
And taught him all they knew.
He might have been of the Folk,
But he was not one to say ‘boo’.
Ben and Hazel and Jack,
They grew up wild and free.
Together they learned the forest,
They learned almost every tree.
Ben and Hazel and Jack,
A musician, a knight, and a Fae;
It just make sense that they were the ones
Who together saved the day.
