Jack And The Red Giant Star

Once upon a time, in the kingdom of the giants

Lived a young boy who on stealing was reliant

He stole for his mother, he stole for his cow

He stole for the fun of it and he’d tell you just how.

You see, the Giants lived high up in the sky divine

So the boy, Jack, learned how to climb there by vine

A bean stalk so grand, so tall, and so strong

No mortal man could fell it, or any mortal throng.

Little Red

CONTENT WARNING: Sexual Themes


Young, naive, and barely eighteen,

Little Red trends on the OnlyFans scene.

She’s in her bed only dressed in her hood,

And for nine ninety-nine, she is up to no good.


“Forget the size of my teeth, eyes, and ears,

_This_ is all the better to rail you my dear!”

“My how big you are downstairs Mr Robin,

You’re hung like a wolf and I see it is throbbin’.”


The man’s wea...

Three Little Pigs

I was always the odd one, the youngest of three,

My brothers less focussed on details than me.

They cared more for dollars than they did about sense,

They thought they were scholars, as they built their tents.


A career in construction, what could go wrong?

But they trimmed too much fat as they went along.

Saving on labour, saving on tools,

Not saving for tax though. Short-sighted fools.


One day ...

Snow White

Hair like a black raven

Face as white as snow

The Queen asked the mirror, wishing she could know


The fairest in all the land

Used to be her, her skin like sand

Now her sweet step-daughter

She was starting to love

Pushed and shoved

Her way up above


With a flip of a book

She made up a plan

Snow White couldn’t stay here

She told the mirrored man


Snow White ran and trembled with fear

As the trees w...

Goldilocks

Once there was a beautiful girl with hair that curled like seashells the color of beaten gold

For one with so much promise. She never grew to be very old

For beauty and promise attract jealousy

Which have their own kind of power

quite frightening to behold


We find it in this famous story of old

Our Goldilocks has been portrayed as selfish vain and coy

But histo...

Caliburn

Solid do I stand

Borne from sky to land

For the true kings hand

To pull me free


And gather fine knights

To serve and to fight

For those without might

From land to sea


Until dark befall

Avalon and all

They will heed the call

And forge their way


To their long quests end

For those they defend

And the realm to mend

Itself one day.

Mirror Mirror

Mirror mirror

On the wall

Whose the sexiest

Of them all


Who has the longest hair

And the most kissable lips

It’s not fair

And the most beautiful hips


It’s hardly me

Or my friends

But her

And her...

Spare

Spare


Once upon a time

There was a young princess.

She had four older sisters.

And 3 older brothers.

Her name was Princess Annet

As the youngest,

no one cared where she goes

Or what happens to her.

Everyone thinks of her as the spare.

With so many older siblings,

Princess Annet was allowed to run

Free.

She rarely wore her hair

Pinned up and tamed.

Her hair was most often wild and free

Or pinne...

Geppetto’s Curse

I want to be a real boy

To feel a warmth in these palms

As my hands destroy

Ravaging, wrecking, devoid of calm

I want to be a real boy


I am telling lies by day

And I know you’re fooled too

With your slack jaw face, nothing to say

The only thing I’ve said that was ever true

“I want to be a real boy”...

Fairest

I lied to her.

By nature I'm the only one who tells the truth.

That's the first thing anyone ever says about me,

But I lied to her because I'm very easy to break and she has a temper.

It didn't come naturally at first,

I won't have you thinking poorly of me,

Image, in my case, really is everything.

Lies stick in my throat like a little shard of me is breaking away,

But she asked me every single...
