Snow white revisited-a tale of our time

Snow white was born one snowy day

she was beautiful, white and privledged

she had everything she could wish for

the king and queen adored her

She kept to herself in the palace knowing nothing about the world out there

one day the king died

the queen was very sad

and snow white was by then a young lady

and so she ventured outside the palace doors

and started to date searching for a prince to replace the king

in her life

the queen did not help in advice she herself sought a new king

men were the answer it seems

Snow white dated and dated though she got an education on the way

while she was at it

she got a degree and another

thinking it cant hurt

one day Snow white thought she had found her prince

he was good looking

tall

handsome

but tended to be mean

she ignored his personality thinking that could be altered like clothes

but by the time she married him and had one dwarf after another

it was too late

she discovered he dressed up as a witch and sold poison apples from door to door

she regreted opening her door to him

but it was too late

the divorce lawyers had been hired

and the struggle continued

snow white lived in a cabin with the dwarves

while the prince found a new princess

she was not good looking

she did not write poetry as pretty as snow white

but she had a good job

so the dream was over

snow white was left to tend to the dwarves and the prince

got visitation rights

every week

and got uglier as the years went by

and so snow white had to make decisions

and to wake up

the prince lived in a glass house and did not care what she felt

snow white was left in the snow

without a warm coat

she would write stories and poems

and would never again open the door to strangers

she would be very careful about apples too

and warn the dwarves about them

not that it helped much

the dwarves went out to the world

and did not care what snow white had to say

snow white learned to love the snow
