Snow White Sonnet

The mirror never lies? How damned delicious!

The fairest one of all was little Snow...

Well, wicked witches knew how to be vicious,

this Snowy-Whitey rival had to go!

The axe man had instructions that he dreaded,

the Queen was quite specific: Kill her, dead!

He couldn't see this lovely girl beheaded,

so left her in the deepest woods, instead.



A bunch of miners found her in their chalet,

they let her stay to cook and wash and sew,

she acted like a kind of female valet,

and waited every evening for "Hi Ho."

They all lived happily amongst the pines,

what next occurred's another fourteen lines...



The mirror told the witch: "Snow White's still fairer!"

The Queen went into deep psychotic gloom,

then turned into a poisoned apple-bearer,

and headed for the forest on her broom.

One bite, and Snow White turned into a sleeper,

the dwarves came home and saw her on the ground,

they took a vote - decided they should keep her,

so locked her in their cabin, safe and sound.



Well, there was just one magic item missing,

to break the spell and foil the witch's plan,

she needed someone who was fond of kissing,

was tall, and dark, and handsome - and a man!

The Prince showed up, and answered true love's call,

they both lived happy ever, after all!
