dVerse Poetics - Modern Day Mythology



Pic  Disneyclips.com
 


Snow White

Cast into the streets, marksman by her side
his hand on a gun , she flees for her life
she finds a condo on the other side of town
seven little men take her in, whom she would tend
Grumpy, tired of working long hours
Sleepy, suffers from insomnia
Bashful , attending assertiveness training
Happy , a musician full of heart
Doc , busy with patients all day
Dopey , enrolled back in school
Sneezy , suffers from allergies

Mirror, Mirror on the wall who's the fairest of them all
Snow White,  pure beauty white as snow
a queen with an attitude, wanted her gone
devised a plan,  a gift tainted chocolates
Snow White's one weakness sweets, she eats
wicked  queen screamed with delight
no one messes with me, I am royalty
seven little men find their friend
call 911 paramedics on the run

Dashing doctor to her rescue
mouth to mouth resuscitation
kiss of life, Snow White breathes again
cops fast on the wicked queen's trail
seems she wanted in several states
locked her up in jail, sorry no bail
there she wailed for a plastic surgeon
Snow White married Doctor Right
with seven bridesmen at her side
vows of love, under city lights..

Author's Note : A twist of the pen on this one as I had to go outside the box for Mary's dVerse challenge.

 Happy Easter & Happy Spring!
