The Truth about Snow White

The dweeb lived in the dwellings of a dwindling tribe of dwarves

Who anchored little kayaks at the moorings in the wharves.

He organised this transport so that they might go at night

Deep into the dark dense woods to visit their Snow White.

But the dwarves were very old and weren’t getting any younger

And although they really wanted too it couldn’t last much longer.

Meanwhile the dweeb would study every minute of the day

So studious and serious with little time for play.

The daddy of the dwarfs known as Doctor Joe

Said to him, “Look dweeb, there’s little left to know.”

But still he studied on writing loads of lengthy notes,

Which sometimes he would use to make tedious little quotes.

Until eventually the dwarves found him annoying and real boring

Besides he woke them up at night with his constant snoring.

So Doctor Joe hatched a plan with his little tribe

It was devious and genius and this I will describe.

They knew Snow White was lonely and longing for a man

So this is what they had in mind for this dweeb known as Stan.

Snow White would lie there in a dwam pretending to be dead

And somehow they would lure Stan along to her deathbed.

So they told her that he was a Prince, the great love of her heart

She of course was up for it, and couldn’t wait to start.

Doctor Joe then told the dweeb, that Snow White was no more.

He said that he might save her and showed him to the door.

On their little kayak they paddled up the river

But the dweeb then said to Doctor Joe, “I don’t know what to give her.”

The Doctor reassured him that it would be real bliss

If only one time in her life she had a loving human kiss.

The dweeb replied, “This just won’t work.” So he quoted healing potions.

When Doctor Joe rejected these he suggested soothing lotions.

None of these the Doctor said were right for their Snow White

Only a kiss from a real-man could help her end this plight.

So eventually there beside Snow White all the party stood,

Outside of the stone cottage deep within the wood.

The dwarves should have looked distressed but they were full of glee

And so they had to hide their smiles in case the dweeb should see.

At long last they’d be rid of him, this boring little nerd

Some of them expressed this and they hoped he hadn’t heard.

But the dweeb was now distracted by the beauty of this girl

He didn’t know if this would work but he’d give it a whirl.

He puckered up his lips and planted one before he spoke

Then gob-smacked he stood there as Snow White soon awoke.

Immediately when their eyes met he knew that it was right

Likewise she felt this too, it was real love at first sight.

So you see that all of this now ended happy ever after.

Doctor Joe and all the dwarves left in bursts of laughter.
