A fairy tale manger

What might happen if a fairy tale witch visited the new born baby

My gift for the child:

No wife, kids, home; No money sense. Unemployable.
Friends, yes. But the wrong sort –
The workshy, women, wimps,
Petty infringers of the law, persons
With notifiable diseases,
Poll tax collectors, tarts;
The bottom rung.
His end?
I think we’ll make it
Public, prolonged, painful.


Right, said the baby. That was roughly
What we had in mind.
