A satirical take on some of the fairy tales we’ve grown up with. Can you guess each of the four Scary Tales? 🤓

You know I kind of hate you 
With your magic and your spells 
Always trying to help folks 
Always being so swell
My father’s on his own trip 
Marrying yet again 
I wanted all his attention 
Now of my existence you’re the bane
So I’m going to show you up as 
The evil step mom in the wings 
Going to booze and then I’ll snooze
And await my Prince Charming 

I’ll do you better with my step fam 
A mother and her progeny!
I curse the day I met them 
The entire simpering family! 
I’m irked by their sweet faces
These step sisters of mine 
Always minding their Ps and Qs, 
Dimpling their saccharine smiles.  
I’ll raise a big fake scandal 
Of their meanness and their pride 
Pater will have no choice 
But to have them thrown outside. 

I’m a bit of a peculiar one 
I loved my solitude 
Until father brought in New Mom
My lonesomeness to loot
Always laughing, always nice
So gleeful and alive 
I’d been cringing night and day
At her effusive vibe 
So I plotted insidiously and 
By and by got myself out
I now have my own tower  
For my tresses and my gout. 

You’ve all taken so long to weave 
Yourselves into this rhyme 
We got rid of our step mom 
One bread crumb at a time. 
She insisted on healthy food 
And also bushels of love 
Ugh! No! We wanted none of that 
So we arranged for witchy stuff
Old Dame Crone opened her home 
To us to live with her 
Ice cream and pizza off the doors 
In bed, Twix and Ferrero Rocher! 

The old wives tales of mean step moms 
Are a riot and a half 
But we are not complaining; No!
We’re having the last laugh
Princesses and Cinder-gals
We’ve all got our own quirks 
And truth be told, we oft unfold 
Into audacious jerks 
These scary tales are the flip side 
Of the happy ever after 
Sometimes the cackle that you hear
Is our malificent laughter.
