ONCE UPON A FRACTURED FAIRY TALE
Cinderella planted three magic
beans
in the frog pond, near the castle.
Soon a giant rose bush grew.
The Beast picked a rose off the
beanstalk
and gave it to a Cat in a hat,
that tricked an ogre into dancing
all night,
until the clock struck twelve.”
“Wait!”
“What?”
HA! Hilarious. Great job. That is one seriously fractured fairytale, Gayle :). I love those. Best of luck to you!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kate. I'm glad you enjoyed it. :)
DeleteClever and funny.
ReplyDeleteThank you, nighinggaletales :)
DeleteI was trying to figure out from the title how you could possibly fit a fairy tale into 50 words. You had me laughing out loud. Great entry.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Joanne. It's always fun to laugh out loud. Glad you liked my silly Fairy Tale. :)
DeleteNice work. Good luck!
ReplyDeleteThank you, Gregory. :)
DeleteHa! Someone is definitely confused! I love fractured fairy tales. Well done.
ReplyDeleteI love fractured fairy tales too. Happy you like it, Jill. :)
ReplyDeleteHahaha...so funny...it reminds me of The Stinky Cheese Man. Love how you combined so many different storybook characters, Gayle.
ReplyDeleteGlad you liked it, Vivian. There's more where that came from. :)
DeleteOh my! That was fun! A bit like "Little Red Gliding Hood." Stuffed with tales. Great job.
ReplyDeleteThank you, McMarshall. :)
