Red apple, red apple
I don't want you no more
Get your red luscious self
away from my door

Tell the witch who
done brought you
that I ain't no damn fool
Gonna turn 'round the tables
till she plays by my rules

Seven dwarves in a bathtub
all rub-a-dub-dub
Doc asked me to join them
but I said, 'no thank you, bub'

I can scrub my own back
And I can itch my own itch
And just 'cause I'm strong-willed
Don't make me a bit like a dog with a bad disposition

And that mirror knows not
what it's taking about
I'm more than just 'fairest'
I'm sexy and stout

And I've no need for royalty
so, prince, fly away
I'll take that young huntsman
And get slayed every day

I'll end my days happy
as a fairy tale lass
and if you don't like it
you can kiss my fat

Ashes to ashes
Dust to dust
that's the end of this story
I give it a C plus

 

Certificate PG
Poem
Humour

oh, a take on fairy tales that's more Bronx than fake, but truth be told, your poem is bold, not sordid, more hoddit and doddit. All to the good like the myths of Robin Hood.

The first time around it was sordid, Celtic. But I changed my tune. I actually meant to sing this, but I wasn't much in the mood. Beautiful day out. Think I'll just sniff me some flowers.

Way better than a C+, that's my sort of Snow White.

Interesting character, seen from a fresh modern perspective.

Thanks, Philip Sydney. It's rough grading your own paper. Lol.
