I heard it on the radio

Sometime I wrote for my local writing group. The prompt was: “I heard it on the radio!”

I heard it on the radio, about a wolf named Romeo. After spending time with grans, had come out as trans.

The three bears won their case against Goldilocks in court. They discovered what she had snort through the drug test which was their last resort.

Little Miss Riding Hood started a war. Peace in the woods was no more. Snow White caught her by the lakeshore, making Prince Charming’s neck sore.

The little mermaid had written a book that got stolen by an Amazon crook. Before the crook had a chance to look, the mermaid claimed back what he had took.

Mrs Pig was full of woe. Lost two sons. She said, “I told them so.” Her other son, her next of kin will inherit her chain of inns and antique tins.

A serial killer was on the loose: a wicked stepmother eating a goose. Those who know her name must inform the police, before she turns you into geese.

I thought of one disgusting word, to sum up what I had heard. It wasn’t until I checked my phone that I understood the sheepy tone. It was very rehearsed for April 1st.
