Funny Fairy Tales: Snowwhite Poem by Roann Mendriq

Oh! She loved apples, did SnowWhite,
And so she took a greedy bite;

Then fell into the longest sleep,
The forest creatures came to weep;

How sweet she looked as still she lay,
Bluebells bowed their heads to pray;

Baby bunnies wept large tears,
They trembled with their long soft ears;

Spotted deer brought rosy flowers,
Sparrows chanted hymns for hours;

And yet she lay as still as stone,
As gentle trees wept leaves to mourn;

But here is something you should know,
One day SnowWhite began to snore;

T'wasn't a soft, pretty sound,
It rumbled and quite shook the ground;

Two startled blackbirds turned to white,
Three baby bunnies died with fright;

Sweetly as she lay, she snored,
T'was worse than when a lion roared;

The forest folk tried every cure,
That awful noise they could not endure.

They tucked rose petals up her nose,
That turned to dust in two loud snores;

They sprinkled drops of cow-pat juiced,
That she might breathe the air infused;

But yet her snores grew loud and harsh,
The roaring reached the outland marsh.

A Prince came riding by that day,
He heard the roar and thought it prey;

"A dragon-beast lurks in this wood!
I shall slay it, Yes! I should! "

He scoured the woods by day and night,
To find the beast and prove his might;

The sparrows, gentle, kindly dears,
Blew downy feathers in his ears;

Then, quite deaf, he proclaimed, "Hurray!
I have chased the beast away! "

Lead by the sparrows to SnowWhite,
He'd never seen a sweeter sight;

He knelt and quickly kissed her lips,
And placed his sly hands on her hips;

"My darling, you shall be my bride,
Come with me, be at my side! "

SnowWhite awoke..he kissed her tight,
He ne'er slept another night!
Moral: Everyone has weaknesses, even pretty Princesses!
