The Plight of Snow White and other Stories

Snow White

I’ve heard of the plight of Snow White,

Whom dwarves have kidnapped in the night;

But there’s no need for fear,

For her knight is here,

I’ll have Snow White home before daylight.

Rumpelstiltskin

I once ran into Rumpelstiltskin,

He managed to get under my skin;

He was enjoying,

Being annoying,

And insisting he was my next of kin.

Goldilocks

When I met Goldilocks in the forest,

She was tired and wanted to rest;

She thought the bears’ home would be fine,

But instead I offered her mine,

Pledging that my bed would pass her test.

When I was in Paris

One time when I was in Paris,

I met a young gal who was Swiss;

Though it was getting dark,

We went into the park,

And that Swiss miss’s kiss was pure bliss.

A Bear Hunter

A hunter once met up with a bear,

The bear led him to his lair;

The bear was Russian,

They had a discussion,

The hunter left in his underwear

A Lady Named Jane

There once was a lady named Jane,

A hornet’s nest was her bane;

So she took it down,

Made of it a crown,

And gave it to her husband, Wayne

Lady Mary Ann

Mary Ann is a special lady,

Nothing about her is shady;

Though I don’t know her,

You can be quite sure,

You should probably address her as, “Milady.”

A Trumpet Player

A trumpet player from La Paz,

Wound up in old Alcatraz;

They say he died there,

And now that is where,

A ghost plays some real soulful jazz.

A Fellow Named Stocky

There once was a fellow named Stocky,

Who wanted to play some hockey;

But there was a lock-out,

Stocky did not pout,

He decided to become a jockey.

A Young Gal Named Maude

I once met a young gal named Maude,

Who told me that I was a clod;

This made me unhappy,

So I told her pappy,

Who said we were like peas in a pod.
