I Need Modern/Funny Fairy Tale Poems


Question Posted Monday April 27 2009, 10:05 pm

I need to put together a collection of poems and I chose to do mine on fairy tales, and how they need a reality check. I'm looking for poems that are funny, sarcastic, and illustrate the ridiculousness of fairytales. All poems MUST BE PUBLISHED, so no original work. Thanks!

This is an example of what I'm looking for.

I am thinking of a fairy tale,
Cinder Elephant,
Sleeping Tubby,
Snow Weight,
where the princess is not
anorexic, wasp-waisted,
flinging herself down the stairs.

I am thinking of a fairy tale,
Hansel and Great,
Repoundsel,
Bounty and the Beast,
where the beauty
has a pillowed breast,
and fingers plump as sausage.

I am thinking of a fairy tale
that is not yet written,
for a teller not yet born,
for a listener not yet conceived,
for a world not yet won,
where everything round is good:
the sun, wheels, cookies, and the princess.

Try Roald Dahl's revolting rhymes. It's traditional fairy tales told in a more tongue in cheek way.

This book [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) might have something, though it makes fun of political correctness than fairy tales themselves. The Stinky Cheese Man (and other fairly stupid tales) might have something also: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
