Limerick Challenge – Fairy Tale
Here is my limerick for Mind and Life Matters’ Limerick Poetry Challenge. This week, the subject is “fairy tale”! I don’t know many fairy tales, but I have chosen “Hansel and Gretel”.
Click on the blue froggy for this week’s other submissions.
“My,” Hansel said, “that’s so neat.
It’s a house you can actually eat!”
But they soon hit a glitch
When they met a dark witch
Though in minutes they had the hag beat!

If someone pesky kids tried to eat my house, I’d want to throw them in the oven too. Poor witch…

Terry Pratchett wrote some hilarious stuff about the “dessert trend in architecture.”

Great limericks, Ali. I’ve always liked the older, darker versions of fairy tales best, rather than the more recent, sanitized versions. 🙂

Yes, some of the original versions were quite Grimm hahaha 🙂
