> There was a skinny-fingered child

> She forked her pinkies 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 him, dear -
> unroll your lacy dancing socks,
> jig through the forest, scramble rocks,
> skip with vixen, juggle stars,
> release the newts you keep in jars
> and 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 scheming princes scale her locks
> to confiscate her dancing socks?
> Did she meet Hansel in the dark
> and find the cake house in the park?
> Whatever happened, foul or fair,
> Teddy's a very grateful bear.
