Hansel and Gretel

by Charlottei aged 10

Who leaves home when told to?
and who thinks breadcrumbs will last?
Who enters a stranger’s home?
and eats as if the food will last?

When will children learn?
Life is not some fairytale
You have no fairy godmother
and anyway she would fail!

Stranger danger – have you heard of it?
Hansel and Gretel could have died
and if a child reads brother GRIMM
I am certain they would have cried
