Sister Problems


The witch

built a house

of candy

to lure children in

because she had always 

really loved children

and had never been able to have her own

due to her sister

stealing her husband

and pretending the witch had died. 

So you can imagine

her excitment

when two children,

Hansel and Gretel,

wound up at her door,

and you can imagine

her anger

when her sister showed up

and locked the witch in a cage,

dressed in the witch's clothing,

and tried to kill

the only children

the witch had ever had a chance to love.
