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
