POEM STARTER

Write a poem based on a classic children's story.

You don't have to recount the story, but try to draw ideas or themes from it. It doesn't have to be based on a fairytale; it could be a Disney story, a myth, or even a traditional family tale.

Fairytale Reunion Party

It was another day for the fairy tale friends They had set up workshop to make up for odds and ends. Although the tortoise was late And Cinderella had rushed off with another date. Hansel and gretle Laid out their huge signs That read make sure your Breadcrumbs are all in lines Pinocchio aggressively shoved Them out of the way And began to arrange His delicate crochet cafe Whilst Snow White set Up some Apple bobbing Little Red Riding hood Practised her axe lobbing Then came the Alice Who set up her tea party Laying out her teapot Which was an ancient rarity. She told them all how She’d got it from a cool mad guy Until three pigs burst in with Ted And let out a massive war cry. They stormed in and Barricaded the door Until one pig realised He needed to go to the hardware store. A wizard walked in And magicked the barricade away And saw Pinocchios cafe and Began to crochet. Then came Dorothy Holding random organs Followed by Perseus With some Demi gorgons. β€œHey!” cried Little Red Brandishing her axe β€œThe Greeks are next door Or we’ll charge you the fairytale tax!” Perseus mumbled something And walked away In came a handsome Prince Who held a flower bouquet He collapsed on one knee At the sight of a Princess And thrust at her his flowers And promised her happiness. Snow White shoved him away And he set up stall On dating advice And then Snow White began to birdcall Finally came the hare Who dashed in fast And quickly demanded If he’d come last Pinocchio responded That he had not But then his nose Grew out like a shot It hooked Alice’s Prized ancient pot Which smashed on the floor And made the pigs laugh a lot. In a rage she grabbed Little Red’s biggest axe But suddenly a huge flock of Snow Whites birds stopped her in her tracks. The hare was running in Mad circles Trying to avoid all Of Snow Whites hurdles. In his rage he tripped And flew into the crochet stall Angering the wizard Pinocchio and all. The wizard accidentally Turned the handsome Prince Into ugly toad Which made all the Princess wince. The chaos was everywhere Hansel and Gretel had lost their bread Snow White had turned bright red Pinocchio had lost all of his thread Little Red was locked in her wood shed The pigs had eaten gingerbread man Ted. Suddenly the wizard Turned around, Waved his magic wand And everything was sound. Around him bounced 15 green toads That leapt out their Stalls and carried on down the roads.
