The Trials of an Audience Member
Why do we put ourselves through so much pain?
The taunts of characters rewind and play.
If only Mufasa had ne’er been slain
And Bambi’s mom had lived another day.
Why can we not save damsels in distress?
Mad queens and poisoned produce seem to loom.
The lack of common sense these girls possess
Lead favorites like Alice to their doom.
Why can we not call out beyond the screen?
Our warnings could have remedied the mess.
As Cinderella’s family did preen
The clock struck twelve and rags replaced a dress.
But oh the stories always end in glee,
Without the help of a spectator’s plea.
