Hansel and Gretel Save the Good Witches
Lily was a gorgeous maiden with an unusual hair color.
Men gave her more attention than she deserved.
Plenty of plain women were ready to turn her in.
Calling her witch, declaring she had cast a spell on them.
Some of the more jealous ones twitched violently.
Calling upon the good Christian soldiers to banish her.
She was about to get burned at the stake.
Something the ugly girls were glad to see.
But along came the witch hunters; Hansel and Gretel.
They had weapons and were not afraid to use them.
They rescued Lily, and warned the good people to leave her alone.
It was a sad day for the plain, ugly, sour-faced old maids.
Hansel and Gretel knew the power of good and bad witches.
Their mother had been a good witch; so they had an inside track.
They had experienced the wrath of a bad witch while young.
It was imperative they keep saving good witches, so they did.
