A Second Look

Cinderella got palaced
   Bambi was Fawned
101 Dalmatians were painted
   A Little Mermaid was spawned

Donald Duck got Daisy'd
   Goofy went crazy
Captain Hook was gatored
   Mysterious Island cratered

Snow White was dwarfed
   A Beauty was Beasted
The Three Little Pigs
   On a big bad wolf feasted

Be they movies, cartoons or books
   All these stories deserve a second look
Reason enough for you to 
   Read to your children; give back what you took

It was all great. But loved this line especially. "Captain Hook was gatored"

Very well done, Gershon! I am a believer in reading to kids. Not only that! If you and your partner can read to each other? Zowie! That's exceptionally special. My husband and I read the entire Dr. Zhivago did so. Plus poetry, Russian novels, even the "Saturday Review." different than watching Netflix, eh? Panagiota

What a fantabulous idea, Panagiota… Early on in my (2nd) marriage, my wife and I used to read 'Our Town' together, out loud, once a year, and a couple of chapters from some other books, but I'm afraid those days are just long gone. (Please don't ask)… I'm so happy for you that you can (still?!) do so. Once again, thank you for a great insight and idea. :) gw
