> The Sins of the Daughter
>
> There was a skinny-fingered child
> whose head was filled with thoughts of god.
> She forked her fingers at the moon
> to bounce the evil from her room.
> "The time has come to give up sweets
> and other worldly children's treats.
> Now, rip the ribbon from your hair
> and crucify that teddy bear."
>
> But something whispered in her ear
> 'No need to sacrifice your bear.
> Unroll your lacy dancing socks,
> jig throught the forest, scramble rocks,
> run with the foxes, watch the stars
> and free the newts you keep in jars.
> But mummify those Barbie dolls
> in eco-friendly toilet rolls.'
>
> And so she did and who's to say
> if she was wise or led astray?
> Did Rumplestiltskin climb her locks
> to confliscate her dancing socks?
> Did she meet Hansel in the dark
> and find the sweet house in the park?
> Whatever happened, foul or fair,
> Teddy's a very grateful bear.
