I Stole the Fairy out of the Tales
Regina Puckett
I followed the yellow brick road to an impasse
I turned Aladdin out his tiny house made of glass
I woke Sleeping Beauty before the Prince showed
I helped the Big Bad Wolf because he really blows
I held up the beanstalk long after Jack it cut down
I pushed Humpty Dumpty just because of a frown
I ate one of the Gingerbread Man’s legs and an arm
When the Boy cried wolf I told them it was a false alarm
I shaved all of the hair from Beauty’s ill-tempered beast
When the Red Hen went to make bread, I stole her yeast
I stole the fairy out all of the tales because I could
But that doesn’t mean that I behaved as I should
