Monday's Child #16: Who wins the porridge?

Image via Monday's child

the three competitors

for who can stir the most

shall get to drink 

the supreme share of the porridge

the fattest witch wanting the credit

for she thinks herself the boss

the thin witch annoyed 

and released all the mices and bats

running all over the floor.

The dwarf feels pleasant

for he shall drink 

as the feast is the foremost

and so their witchery reigns.

And then my child asked me

"Momma, so who won the higest share?"

And therefore I replied,

"The Dwarf." My girl asked, "Why?"

"For the dwarf had no itentions.

He was enjoying with his heart,

and had no purpose of envy 

or being supreme." I replied.

Then my girl asked, "How?"

Therefore I said, "As the thin witch

released the mice and bats, 

which troubled the witch fat,

and they had a quarrel over it.

Since the dwarf was short, 

he wasn't bothered and sipped 

the porriged a bit by bit,

while the witches fought and exhausted

kept lying on the floor.

Therefore the dwarf took advantage of the fight

and sipped the porridge all alone."
