Snow White and the Not-So-Evil Queen

She just wanted to be beautiful
Believe that others saw her youthful

It was all that mattered to her 

So strong was that desire, it drove her delusional

 

But, oh no, what's this?

The Queen is throwing fits

The Mirror tells her someone surpasses her charm

A young girl puts her at risk

 

That can't be true!

She wonders, "What must I do?"

Envious enough to kill,

Snow White is sent away and wished "adieu"

 

Not by blood are the two related,

So her step-daughter is very much hated

Considered competition,

The Queen orders her vacated

 

Unknown to the Queen

Is the girl’s bubbling plans for demean

Covered by her pretty face is a twisted mind

Snow White hungers to make the Queen scream

 

Turning the Lady’s servant against her,

Then joining forces with tiny men from the trees of fir,

An equally deranged girl begins to plot

A lesson the Queen will not fail to remember

 

Using trickery she controls wildlife

They complete her chores and will even pick up a knife

They do everything she commands

Her enemy is fated to face strife

 

But in the time without her step-child,

The Queen never once smiled

A little too late, she decides to make amends

She brings several sweet apples in a basket piled

 

Their encounter does not go well

Snow White pretends to be poisoned and under a spell

The forest creatures take revenge

All according to plan, underground the Queen now dwells

 

Luring a passing prince, Snow White is taken away

Claimed to be “true love,” with his heart she plays

So off to cause more turmoil

Snow White makes her way
