There is no Cinderella
Peter
Pan is grown
That
doesn’t keep him sober
Nor
does it keep him home
Old
King Cole’s not so merry
His
wife’s the Wicked Witch
Red
Riding Hood seeks shelter
From
her wrath - and her switch
Wonderland
is a wasteland
The
Giving Tree a stump
Little
Bo Peep’s playground
Is
a needle-infested dump
Harold grabs
his purple crayon
And
draws Jonah’s whale
In
its belly he finds his haven
A
compulsory fairy-tale
