Knock knock knock
There is no precedence
for a knock on the door
she’s busy cleaning
while staring at the floor
Knock knock knock
It’s the insistence of the knock
that has her trembling
and she’s ready to give up
until she starts remembering
There is no one who would
knock upon the door
Her little army of Seven
would never leave her trembling
there is only one
who would want to settle the score
She peers beyond the curtain
and sees fruit
She is hungry, and just a little angry
her army of Seven
are mighty
but they are miners
and she needs to eat
and the apple merchant
is elderly
with a smile
there is no fear
of a brute
Her mouth waters
for a taste of fruit
She opens the door
and reaches forward
murmuring
“Just one taste”
The merchant is eager
to hand over the apple
cackling
“That is all it takes”
"But first and foremost
be warned...
A prince may, or may not
come
Bite the apple
you are the one to decide
Sate your hunger now
or wait!
Eat, or don’t eat
Let your decision be
your demise"
Snow White is hungry
and angry
that the little men
don’t provide
and she’ll bite the apple
holding onto the hope
that her decision
is the one
that will provoke her prince
to ride
to her side
But it was otherwise known
that her prince was thus occupied
by a ***** *****
and he didn’t feel the rip
in the fabric of time
Snow White collapses
clutching the apple
in her hand
representing all her hopes
and dreams
the years trickle away
like sand
It’s apparent that all
that she had left
to watch over her
was a small figure
that if she could see
*would make her run
more than a mile*
But for the apple
clutched in her fist
Poor old Grumpy
might crack a smile
