The Farmer's Wife was not quite nice

To chop the tails off those three mice.

She then felt sorry; and on her knees

She gave them each a piece of cheese.

 

 

The poor old Giant in the sky;

Jack stole his gold and made him cry.

Jack's Mother took the gold straight back,

And gave the boy a frightful smack.

 

 

Goldilocks' Father bought a chair,

And took it round to Baby Bear.

She doesn't find it quite so funny -

He bought it with her pocket money!

 

 

Hansel and Gretel soon found a ditch

To bury the body of the Witch.

They never went home; and nor would I,

If my mum and dad left me to die.

 

 

When all the gold turned back to straw

The King began to rant and roar.

The Queen and baby went to stay

At Rumpelstiltskin's hideaway.

 

 

The Ogre-mouse went down the hatch

Of Puss-in-Boots without a scratch.

Imagine everyone's surprise,

When he returned to normal size!
