Poems of fables

I'm stuck in a ropey cage
and yet this mouse can help me? psshh

I'm a rich, sophisticated, young woman
I love me a good lion, don't knock it till you try it

Who lives in a pinapple under the sea,
not me, because I have my prince, I'm a mermaid.
(come at me sister)

Should of been working when I was shirkin'
Should of been Shirkin' when i should have been workin'
Now I'm starving.

I scrub scrub scrub all day,
I work work work all night,
I'm so sick of being the servant,
I'm going to get my prince charming.

I stalk my prey, watching intensely, I watch her move, smell her smells
but most of all... I see the basket. I want it.
I crave it, I seek it. All I think about now is retreving her basket.
That little red hood taunts me with it's shimmer, it's boldness.
how dare she walk with me, moving and shifting in the breeze, in the dark
doesn't she know that this is my domain, my sacred place.
I'm driven to madness, on the brink of insanity.
Why can't I leave? I'm hopelessly bound to the pursuit,
Of this little red riding hood.
And so it begins...
The chase, the excitement.
She will never get home.

I'm not sure where the rabbit hole goes...
But maybe it goes to a wonderful land.

My back hurts really bad,
why can't I sleep soundly,
maybe I should eat my veggies.

I dance all day, with my seven lovely dwarfs
I can't believe that I'm asleep, waiting for my perfect man.
