The forest is unimaginably big
And filled with orphans and thanes so
It's all just a matter of which
Witch you run into. Some
Will urge you to kill the king
And take the throne for yourself.
Others will take you home
And keep you in a cage until you're
Fat enough to make a good meal.
("The Tragedy of Hansel, King of Scotland;"
"Macbeth: The Man, the Thane, the Casserole")
Occasionally there will be witches
Who've just eaten or ones who'd rather
Dance naked than mess with politics
But don't count on meeting them.
You don't really want to be king
Or a string of sausages? This is exactly why
You should stop wandering around forests.
