Fun With Hansel and Gretel
What if once upon a time
Hansel and Gretel lived a life of crime?
When they were dumped in the forest
They became absolutely abhorrest!
They stole, They kicked, and stabbed, and killed,
but it was nothing compared to the sweet old lady who had them thrilled...
This sweet lady lived in a house made of candy,
which, for the awful children, came in handy.
Hansel and Gretel tore her huge chocolate walls down,
which shocked the old lady and gave her a frown.
"Oh this'll be fun!", said Hansel to his sister,
as he threw a chunk of the wall at the old lady, but he barely missed her.
The sweet woman cried out in fear,
"Please, please don't hurt me my dear!"
Gretel cackled and gave her an evil smile,
She said, "Don't worry, it'll only hurt for a while."
Gretel turned to her brother with eyes full of giddiness,
He told her, "Let's have some fun, sis."
The awful children closed in on the old quack,
and each started to take multiple hacks.
Within minutes the sweet old lady was dead,
and Hansel asked Gretel, "How about some bread?"
The children settled into their new place,
and Gretel said, "You know, I quite like this space."
Now the story has come to an end,
Legend has it... the children still live there, except when they are out hunting- only on the weekends.
