Notes About The Poem

 

Fallacy of Fairytales

Gingerbread man's life was one of hard knocks
Cus that cookie was captured by a fox
Although he ran very fast
He was eaten as repast
Like the three bears feasted on Goldilocks

Peter Pan had an island of lost boys
Promising them games and lots of fun toys
Purchased from an "Adult" store
Leather was what the boys wore
It's a naughty fetish Peter enjoys

Humpty Dumpty was sad; down in the dumps
When he was caught wearing stiletto pumps
That's why he climbed the brick fence
and shouted, "It's false pretense!"
Was called a 'girly girl' by bullying chumps

Maiden Rapunzel had long golden hair
Spurned all men. 'Twas as if she didn't care
But each night when it was dark
In her window climbed Beau Clark
With ardent lover, Rapunzel lay bare

The tale about Little Red Riding Hood 
Tells that to her grandmother, she was good
With Wolf she was in cahoots
For months they'd been knocking boots
The love they shared was never understood

Alice fell in a hole, chasing a hare
Pink Cheshire cat smiled..."Enter if you dare"
Confused, first she shrunk then grew
It was a hullabaloo!
Her adventure gave her a frightful scare!

It has been written about Ol' King Cole
That he was quite a very merry soul
Always had the urge to pee
When ere played his fiddlers, three
Over his bladder, Cole had no control

Cinderella couldn't attend the ball
Because it was her wicked stepmom's call
So, she fed her poisoned rice
Fairy Godmother was nice
Dressed her up like a Princess Barbie doll

Eating her curds, sat Little Miss Muffet
On her very expensive silk tuffet
When along came a spider
Who wiggled down beside her
Asked, "Would you mind if I shared your buffet?"

The Three Little Pigs tale ended in shame
That's why they were never given a name
Big Bad Wolf outsmarted two
Then the third one, he ate, too
For blowing through brick, the wolf had a trick

Ha ! Thanks, John. No doubt I’d get goosed by Mother Goose and condemned by the Brothers Grimm but twisting fairytales is fun to do on a sudden whim! Btw… Mary’s lambs were a scam for what was really going on at her school.
