the prince lost his leather boot
the beanstalk rotted
Papa Bear ate Goldilocks for dinner
and
Rapunzel rappelled down the side of the tower
Snow White never tasted the poisoned apple
she was too busy
cooking
mending
and
cleaning
for seven needy dwarfs
to stop for a snack
in her spare time
she penned a best-selling novel
“The Fairy-Tale Delusion”
GOOD THING
it was rumored that
Prince Charming swam off with a mermaid
on his Caribbean vacation
and
drowned
what line did Snow White write to end her children’s classic?
“She fought.
She survived.
She shared.
She thrived.”

I love it! I hope Cinderella was able to put those step-sisters and step-mother in their places and made them volunteer a lot of time to the needy and less fortunate😊💕!

Thank you so much! Exactly. And, Cinderella met her prince when they were both serving people in the soup line at the homeless shelter. 😊😉

Haha…It was her side of the story. Prince Charming might have penned something like, “Snow Cold as Ice”, had he not drowned. 😂😆😉

Phew…not as dark as the original Grimm-stories. I think I prefer the ‘happy tales’.
Although….hm…this is fun to read…lol.

So true. That is a nice one! In my opinion the fairy tale dimension is all about role play. So Snow White is not always the innocent either. Imagine the seven dwarfs as a gang of thugs.
