FAIRYTALES FOR MEN

Jack & the Beanstalk: 
Pursue lofty magic 
Outwit those who would plant 
 Your feet in the ground 

 Aladdin: 
Trust your friends 
They know your true wishes 
Love is a powerful ally 

 The Pied Piper: 
Lay down your pipe 
Revenge negates the good 
You have accomplished till now 

 The Sorcerer's Apprentice: 
Take your time 
Unfamiliar power may confound 
Your good intentions 

Hansel and Gretel: 
When all abandon us, 
 We find strength and consolation  
Together
