She turned this way, she turned that way
But, help, it did not come
She was too scared to stop and pray
Her heart beat like a drum
She worked her way to a corner
Half-willed it all to end
She wondered how they would mourn her
As she saw a paw descend
It picked her up like a pillow
And squeezed her with its claws
Bones snapped and cracked like a willow
And open came its jaws
Before Ciga-Rette could kill her
A mouse crawled 'cross its feet
It dumped her and fled like a spur
So Dora death did cheat
Now I get it, nevertheless how was I supposed to get that as a kid?
ReplyDeleteThanks Nana for clearing it all up. Beautiful written
Meaning to get it I would have to revisit the first five? okay would do so
ReplyDeleteHahahaha. Big Bad Scared-y Giant!
ReplyDeletePearlsa, thanks. Yeah I wonder how kids are supposed to get a real lesson. But it is the same with fairy tales.
ReplyDeleteNana Fredua-Agyeman, yes, you have to read the first five ;-)
ReplyDeleteTetekai, yes, I had to find a twist at the end. You must know that in the original, Dora's head is ripped off.
ReplyDeleteuhm, sheer genius! love it!
