Fairly New Tales
Revised Edition

Jack and Jill went up the hill, he said “to fetch some water”
It seems as though that Jill forgot what “stranger danger” taught her
Humpty Dumpty fell off the wall and broke his shell again
This fool will soon be scrambled eggs, the question’s only, when
An older hag with lots of kids were living in a shoe
She said she’s taking birth control, that clearly wasn’t true
It’s after twelve and Cinderella’s dealing with her gout
She ditched those stupid shoes of glass and kept on hanging out
Despite Rapunzel’s famous hair, her boyfriend called it quits
It seems to be, apparently, the hair was from her pits
A wolf approached a house of pigs and starts to huff and puff
The house fell down, he ate the pigs and auctioned off their stuff
He later spoke with Riding Hood from grandma’s comfy bed
But Riding Hood was packin’ heat, and now the wolf is dead
Pinocchio, because of lies, his nose was getting bent
It grew the most when Mrs. O would ask him where he went
Little miss Muffet sat on her toilet, the curds were making her pay
Along came a spider, sat beside her, and quickly passed away
Jack tossed some beans onto the ground, a stalk grew through a cloud
Jack found up there a golden goose, its gander looking proud
Jack stole the goose and scurried down, an axe was on his deck
He chopped the stalk, a giant fell, and broke his freaking neck

I’ve been writing poetry (rhyming mostly) since about 2014 and have recently transitioned to writing novels and short stories. My poetry genres are faith, humor, social issues, politics, pretty much any subject matter.
