The Travellers Rhyme- a Snow White Parody
Once upon a time
In a far off kingdom that was grown on thyme
Lived a young girl full of might
That went by the name of Snow White
Now Snow White had an evil mother
That treated her like a piece of blubber
This mother of hers though quite cruel
Owned a magic swimming pool
And every day from dawn to dusk
She would whisper with a husk
'Dear pool of my please do call
Who is the fairest of them all?'
And every day the pool would answer
'You my queen are the fairer then the folk dancer!'
But one dark day she ask the pool
'Am I still the fairest within my rule'
This time the pool did reply
'Unfortunately this time you luck's run dry
For there is one that light shines bright
That young girl is Snow White'
The Queen when heard went in a rage
It was the biggest in this age
She said to herself with a hoot
'I'll just poison that little coot
At the concert this very day'
So she took some poison from the bay
The queen then who was very mean
Put it in some garden beans
So at the concert when the time was right
She poison poor old Snow White
With a thump and a roar
The girl fell to the floor
The queen yelped with delight
And ran away in a flight
But there was one who witnessed this passing
It was the fair Prince Charming
'Oh me oh my' he said quite clear
'I must save this poor dear'
So the prince left off to save
The princess, for he was very brave
He journeyed far and near and near and far
A chanced upon a cable car
So up he went like a mouse
And found himself at a friendly house
The prince knocked three times at the door
And who should appear but the queen, that boar
The Queen quite scared ran for her cloak
Then disappeared in a puff of smoke
The prince entered the house his mouth ajar
And found to his surprise, behind some bars
To small children Hansel and Gretel by name
The prince saved them from their shame
He tried to leave them but they just cried
Take us with you, please be our guide
So the prince with a heart so blessed
Took Hansel and Gretel on his quest
For many nights and days these Travellers travelled
All their hope that had unravelled
When one cloudless day they found
A castle half hidden underground
The prince and his companions ran inside
Looking for the cure they were hoping hadn't died
In the basement brass double doors loomed
They knew it was there so they entered the gloom
With a heavy heart they saw
A guardian dragon at the door
The dragon asked them one simple question
What is my obsession?
They thought and they thought
And then Gretel said with a snort
I know the answer my friend and I don't cheat
Your obsession is that you like to eat
The dragon replied looking wrecked
That is correct
The giant beast stepped aside
As the Travellers took their prize
And scooted out of there, which was very wise
They made it back to where snow white lay
And gave her the cure as fast as day
As Snow White opened her eyes
The evil queen rushed in, swelled to twice her size
She seized a sword and with a hit
Got pushed into a earthquake pit
And as clever little Hansel said
At least I didn't chop off her head
And so as you guessed
The prince and snow white where married with zest
And so this is where our stories end
With a little twist and a bend
