Snow White, Sort Of

Long ago, in Fairy Tale Land, there lived a beautiful young girl named Snow White. She lived with her wicked stepmother , the queen. The queen was jealous of S.W., and when her faithful mirror began to tell her that she was no longer the fairest in the land, ( the honor now went to S.W.), she had the young woman taken into the woods and killed. The kind woodsman couldn't do the deed however..and S.W. ended up in a cottage with a bunch of unhappy Little People. The were, in no particular order-Vain, Ungrateful, Grouchy, Stupid, Flatulant, Nasty and Petulant. They were supposed to work in the mines..but rarely went there..instead the played a lot of Texas Hold'em and sang.. " Whistle While you Malinger". To cut to the chase..the queen found out and had Nasty feed S.W. a poison apple. She fell into a deep sleep. Thinking she was dead, they put her in a glass coffin in the deepest part of the wood. Well, who should come riding by but a biker named Larry..he kissed her , as he would never pass up a chance like that. She awoke, and they rode off ..never to be seen again .... but..it was whispered that she had formed a group with 7 little guys and was performing on the strip in Vegas... And they all lived happily every after...(except for the queen, who became an old hag and in a rage took a hammer to her poor mirror). The End For John's contest
