Snow White,Cinderella,and Beauty and the Beast,
O those stories,What a feast!
But have you ever thought if it actually makes sense,
To make children read something so dense.
Have you ever read the actual tale?
Because I assure you ,you’d want to wail.
It’s not all rainbows and roses,
But all that it actually opposes.
Fairytale are supposed to be beautiful,
But here’s a reality check.
It doesn’t make imagination wonderful,
Not even by a speck.
If I was in a fairytale,
I don’t know what I’d do,
But one thing is certain,
I’d never wear glass shoes.
When I go to visit my Grandma,
I know that she lives far,
I wouldn’t cut through the woods at all,
Instead I’d drive in a car.
And can someone please tell me how,
All princesses speak the ‘Animal’?
I know it’s for children,
But why make them think it’s possible?
Belle was supposed to be smart,
And not insane.
Then how the hell did she fall in love with her kidnapper,
Even when he had a mane?
I know you’d say it’s a teaching,
But I don’t think so.
Instead it’s so misleading,
Cause Stockholm Syndrome, Hello!
As a mermaid I’d be willing to give up some things,
Especially if the boy was real sweet,
But you’ve got to be kidding me,
My voice, for a pair of feet!
If fairytales teach us things,
Like not to judge a book by the cover,
Then to meet Prince Charming,
Why did Cinderella need a makeover?
In a fairytale, a kiss is the cure,
Oh that’s so sweet you say,
But are you sure?
In Snow White , a dead girl is kissed,
And honestly that makes me pissed.
So maybe I got you to see,
I guess for all its worth,
Fairy tales aren’t ready for me,
And I am better off ,here on Earth.
