Snow White
She's no longer so innocent, but then
She knows enough to take the mirror,
And learn to rule a kingdom.
Hansel and Gretel
She loves her husband. He adopts,
They make sure that they have enough,
To always bring them home (their children)
After it gets dark.
Sleeping Beauty
They fight with lazy smiles
And looks of love
Over who should feed the prince
at midnight
(She argues she still needs her sleep).

A/N: I was struck by the image of Sleeping Beauty and her King sleepily arguing in bed over who should get up to feed the baby. Can't you just imagine it?
