Hansel and Gretel
In a forest deep where shadows play
Two starving children wondered, lost astray
Hansel and Gretel, hand in hand
Sought a path to a sugary land
A house made of sugary treats—a sweet surprise!
Walls made of gingerbread, frosted delight
Sugary windows gleamed in the light
Their eyes gleamed like the stars
They knock at the door
An old witch greeted them with laughter's delight
Her bony fingers, old and fragile
Bones scattered in the corner of the room
Bones of children
Eaten by a cannibalistic witch
Hansel locked in a cage
Gretel chained in the corner of the room
Their bellies fat with baked goods
Desserts of cookies, cakes, and pies
🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍰🍰🍰🍰🍰🥧🥧🥧🥧🥧
The witch was fattening them up for dinner
An oven with flames cooking
Gretel pushes the witch in her oven
The witch burning in the flames
Hansel and Gretel escape from the witch's house
A lesson to never take food from witches
Or you might end up getting cooked for dinner

Sweets from a stranger. Not a good idea. But, looking at it another way ... those kids helped themselves to parts of the house, if memory serves me right. That witch must've worked very hard on her home. Sweetly house proud. No wonder she was extremely unhappy with them.
Love your poetic version of this classic tale x
