Humpty Dumpty sat on the wall,
\nCinderella went to the ball.
\nOne Jack was nimble, one fell down,
\nWicked witch melted into the ground.<\/p>\n

Sleeping Beauty pricked her finger,
\nSnow White with dwarves did linger.
\nAs for Beauty, she loved the Beast,
\nMunchkins feared, Witch of the East.<\/p>\n

Rip Van Winkle, long time did sleep,
\nRapunzel’s hair, she did not keep.
\nBut all these tales are so absurd,
\nShould we not teach kids the Word?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
