Oh how cute. It's a sweet nursery rhyme poem, and yet I can totally hear Vala's voice reading it.

I'm glad it worked for you, it seemed like the sort of things she'd say.

Thanks for reading.

I love this! It's just adorable and silly, but also serious and interesting. Just like Vala. ;)

I really debated the swearing when she referenced Qetesh, because without that I can see her reading this to one of her kids someday.

I'm glad the mix still worked though.

Thanks for reading.

In the Stargate SG-1 Audio book "Shell Game", Vala does refer to Qetesh as a "bit of a bitch". So you're dead-on canon! Or para-canon, for the purists.

Vala seems like the kind of mom who wouldn't see anything wrong with calling Qetesh a bitch in front of the kids.

I see Vala's children as the only kids on the block who case the kindergarten room on the first day, and get lock picking sets for christmas.....

I LOVE THIS!

I normally avoid fan poetry, but this piece is an exception I'm so glad I made!

As soon as I read B is for borrowed, I was meaning to ask I knew you had a bead on her character, because I heard Vala's voice loud and clear.

And when I read D is for daughter, the one that I lost with its assonance instead of perfect rhyme, the heartbreak hit harder.

The couplets are gorgeous alternations between mirth and woe (G & H), and point out the way Vala survived: balancing comedy against tragedy (Y & Z), travail against triumph.

Thanks for loosening the meter and allowing Vala to shine through the verse.
