Hansel and Gretel


A moon lit road 

Army of birches every which way 

“I am fox” says Hans

“And I am owl” replies Gretel 

Hurry up! Expand those legs!

Undefeated we must reach home

When we arrive 

Father will smile, but is he really pleased?

And mother?

When she half smiles

Despondent with a wheeze

Is she pleased?
