Snow Not So White Part 3


Well Jack wanted to impress Snow, I understand that
He’d tried the normal stuff, even gave her Dicks cat
But the cat knowing he was in the wrong narrative plot
Went off quickly, besides he didn’t like this utter rot
You see even the cat could see she was a lot less White
Seven of them! Obviously things weren’t at all right
Anyway the poor lad didn’t know how to show his like
He even thought of doing Karaoke but he hadn’t a mike

He took to leaving gifts outside the cottage front door
But being illiterate he couldn’t label whom they were for
The seven men thought that they had made a huge hit
With the rather obvious floozy, you know that flighty bit
What’s her name the one that was always losing sheep
Ah now I remember that bimbo everyone calls Boo Peep
I’m not saying she’s loose, but have you seen her back
You don’t need to tell me her mind has only one track

Anyway this isn’t really the tale that I promised you
Well, I don’t want to get shouted at but the rest is blue
Snow finally discovered that Jack had his eyes on her
And being that she’s a real devil the pot she began to stir
Whenever she went out she made certain she was seen
She wore as little as possible, if you know what I mean
Her skirts were more split that a can-can dancers legs
She’s not fooling me, that’s not the way you sell pegs

Poor Jack he didn’t know what he should say or do
That Snow the little minx had got him in a stew
He didn’t know where to look and he couldn’t think
The poor boy was so confused he even began to drink
I believe that is when these seven men took a hand
I can’t prove my theory but I’m sure you understand
These diminutive seven, they planned it I’m sure
I think they just had enough of her nagging evermore

Anyway she’d teased poor Jack almost to the brink
And was starting to nag because they liked a drink
They decided that she definitely would have to go
So they came up with a plan that would shift Ms Snow
It was they, I think who contacted the wicked queen
All this talk of mirrors talking that was just a scheme
No I’m sure it was them using some old radio thing
But you’d never get them to admit it, they won’t sing

The next time you hear the tale of Snow not White
Remember that for her virtue she didn’t try to fight
Poor Jack got so confused he turned strangely queer
It took his widowed mother ages to get him off beer
And those poor seven diminutive men she nagged at
Would have tried murdering her, yes really even that
So is it surprising that they grassed her to the queen
No not really for things aren’t always what they seem

Kari love, there the story is finally at an end. Yes love a whole weekend off, hip hip hooray!

Don't know if there is a problem with my puter or it's just me but I can't see these after I've replied. And Some I can't see at all. I get the title and that is it.

Anyway thank you dear heart

Marsha,
you are right things aren't always what they seem, and it seems you are a featherhead. You cannot deny it now, that spark of intelligence runs deeps in you
write on

Kethry love, featherheaded yes love that is definitely me dear heart. Sometimes I just have to let the devil out. But I do think this has a slightly more ring of reality to it than the original don't you?
Disney would never forgive me. Gone on love, do your take on one, it would be so great. I'd really like to read that
Thank you dear heart, oh what it is to have loyal and loving friends.
Take care love as always

Snow thank you, although you have Sunshine to thank for these three. She like to see me work now and then.  
Take care

Paula dear heart, only because they didn't think of it first   Or maybe they did, and the censors got to it. You can just imagine what they said.
The story is about a young girl, but she's old enough to get married. Yes, of course because she marries the Prince in the end. And she is chased out of her home by? Her stepmother, because, she's younger and prettier. Yes well, the stepmother wants the King her father for herself? Sorry and then what happens to her father. Nothing. Oh he lets this happen to his daughter does he. Anyway she gets taken to the woods, and the huntsman kills a pig instead of her. Right, so we have violence, black magic, and cruelty to animals all within the first three pages of the story. And then she goes into a cottage, that's breaking and  entering, and lives with seven men. And this is supposedly a childrens story. Mmmm
No wonder they tried to pretty it up.
Thank you love I'm glad you liked it, I do like to bring a smile or two
Take care love as always

I do believe love. . .that you might (just might, mind you) have based the character of Snow on someone you know??  LOL  (and yes. . . I do mean you!!)  LOL

This is just TOO funny love. . . it's all I can do to control myself. . . I may have to leave for a moment to just let it all out. . . .what a story!!  What a woman!!!!  What a poet!!!!!!

Sven dear heart, I didn't know it was going to end like that, truly! (It's true I wrote it for the laughs!) Oh what a thing to suggest, that I'm Snow Not So White? Welllll
Yes I can't deny it, she is me. It is moi!
But you only knew that because of the split dress I know   I can't help it, I love that dress! No one else does, someone has to.
Thank you love and that's a beautiful laugh you have dear heart
