Once upon a time, in a land of make-believe,
Lived two little twins with matching wings, you'd perceive.
Their skates were golden, their socks were bright,
And they loved to play with dice all night.

One day, they met a pair of mice,
Who were wearing shoes that were twice their size.
The twins giggled and said with a grin,
"Your shoes are huge, won't you let us in?"

The mice nodded and let them try,
But the shoes were too big, they couldn't even fly.
The twins thought hard, and then they knew,
They needed gloves to make their dream come true.

With gloves on their hands, they flapped their wings,
And soared through the clouds like magical things.
They landed safely, feeling so proud,
With their matching skates and socks, they shouted out loud.

"We did it, we did it, we can fly so high,
Thanks to our gloves and our wings that we tie!"
The mice smiled and said, "You're a great pair,
We hope to see you again, if you ever dare."

The twins waved goodbye, feeling happy and light,
Knowing they can do anything if they try with all their might.
And so, they flew away, with the wind in their hair,
Leaving the mice behind, with memories to share.
