Snow White Retold

There once was a girl named Snow White, Of a poisoned apple she took a bite. Seven dwarves found her sleeping, And they began weeping. Who would fix their supper tonight? Only one thing could save this fair miss, A prince must give her a kiss. There was no time to waste, So the dwarves they made haste, To find a prince for their miss. A prince showed up the next day, And the dwarves they did not delay. They showed him Snow White, Told him of her plight, Then said, "Kiss her, then be on your way." The prince gazed down on her face, And his heart started to race. What a beautiful maid, Yes, she must be saved! To refuse would be a disgrace. He bent and kissed her awake. One kiss was all it did take. They stared at each other, The dwarves said, "Oh brother!" "We may have made a mistake." To the prince they said, "Listen here!" "We want to be perfectly clear." "Snow White belongs to us, So don't raise a fuss, Or you'll get a swift kick in the rear!" Snow White was quick to object. "Now boys, let's show some respect. The prince saved my life, And I'll gladly be his wife. What else could you possibly expect?" The prince said, "Hey, don't worry guys. You won't have to say your good-byes. You can live in the castle, It won't be a hassle. Cross my heart, I'm telling no lies." So Snow White and her prince tied the knot, And they honey-mooned on a great yacht. The dwarves stayed behind And at the castle they dined. All in all they were pleased with their lot.

What a delightfully witty take on the Snow White story, Kim. I can just see the dwarves running amok in the castle as Snow White and her prince take a romantic cruise. Enjoyed this funny poem! Love, Carolyn

Thanks Andrea. I have been watching Once Upon a Time. It'll be interesting to see how they work everything out.
