Jack and Jill
Didn’t go up the hill
Cause they had running water.
When Jack fell down
And broke his crown
They rushed him to the emergency room

Snow White can’t get a freaking man
Cause they want a girl with a healthy tan

When the witch came, offering crops
Snow White got smart and called the cops

Cinderella wants a dress for the ball
Screw that freaking fairy, she goes to the mall

And when her step-mom made her nervous
Cinderella called Child Protection Service

Prince Charming hoped he could make people cower
But it turns out Parliament has all the real power.

The author's comments:
I found it odd that most fairy tales include evil step-mothers and wicked witches when in my life, my step mom is awesome and my Wiccan "witch" mother is so nice. So I though, "Hey, fairy tales are stupid. I should make fun of them." And so I did.
