The Princess and the Necrophiliac...

by Beth - Scorpio

A fairy tale is just what it says
all sweetness and light
But the Fey aren't all about flowers and love
some are darker than the night

A true tale of the Fey kind
is sinister and macabre
tales of sick and frightening things
No REAL happy ever after

Take Sleeping Beauty 
and her handsome prince
The way they "cleaned" up the tale
Still make the poor Fey wince

See a poison splinter did inflict
upon her a sleeping death
But did not fall upon the castle
it was abandoned by her father, he left!

And her handsome prince did not rescue her
He was indeed a necrophiliac
He spied the beautiful princess
In deathly sleep upon her back

And over come by his desire
A vile act he did perform
ANd growing within the princess
Was the proof, His twin spawn.

The Fey took pity on the babes
that they named  Moon and Sun
And one of the babes sucked the splinter out
The princess awoke , a Mum!

Now the sinister Prince did return
Hoping to have some fun
But the  sleeping Princess was now awake
He discovered he'd made her a mum

Now instead of being all upset
The Princess she was quite taken
She fell in love with the Prince
Despite the way she had been taken

But the Prince he had another wife
In his far off land
So to her he did return
A  worn and weary man

The wife she discovered the secret
Of the Babes in the woods
She ordered her cook to the kill them both
Chop them up for food

She served the twins for dinner
To her unsuspecting man
Then told him what she had done
He ran from the room his mouth covered by his hand

She was hung the very next day
and the Cook then imparted the truth
That she couldnot have killed the babes
A goat carcass held the proof

So the Prince then married his Beauty
and they lived a life of love and fun
If it weren't for his Necrophillia
they would not have had their Moon and Sun....

You may think me perverse
For the details of this tale
But this is the true story
As told by the Fey.

Reason for writing:

    The Story of Sleeping Beauty....although this poetic tribute pretty much sucks, it is the jist of the story, the original story before being cleaned up sometime in the  16th century.
