Of stories grim.

In the house that Jack built
Jill was nowhere to be seen,
Jill disappeared in a pail of water.

Now Jack has a new girl
Mary Mary quite contrary,
how did her garden grow?

Little did Jack know
Mary Mary quite contrary
killed and buried
her husbands there.

Who saw them die?
I said the fly
I saw them die.

Old Mother Hubbard
was locked in her cupboard
her boot was put up for sale.

All the while
the three blind mice
kidnapped the farmer's wife
for a king's ransom,

and the dish that ran
away with the spoon
was later found broken.

It was all looking grim
when cracks appeared
on Humpty Dumpty.

And what of the spoon you ask?
Well that was put
back in the cutlery draw.

i love how fairy takes turn into morbid tales because lets face the fact that there are no happy endings
