Hansel and Gretel
You know they killed my sister
Those two smiling, towheaded demons
Roasted her alive, picked her bones dry
Killed their mother – slow poison
Nearly got the father too
But I heard…
Yes, but I know better
”Poor things, abandoned,
Lured into the cookie cottage”
My sister baked a sugary world
For them to play in
And the father…?
I’ve brewed herbs
To draw the darkness from his heart
To clear the poison from the house
He’s so kind, a patient man
Hard working, steady, strong and quiet
…in a corner cage lurked two fat frogs
