Witches’ Cabin
Anonymous

Hansel and Gretel once walked into the witch’s cabin

Hansel and Gretel once were promised warmth and shelter

Hansel sits at the table eating pork stew

Though it has been a year he can still see Gretel’s floating eye watching him

Would you do it?

Shove her into the oven

Bake her alive and eat her with love?

He shakes head

It is warm and safe in the cabin

Soon he would he put into bed and sang sweet lullabies until he went to sleep

After all, the world is a cruel place for hungry girls
