Rhyme Scheme: ABCDDEFGHIDJKLMNOPQR SORTUVWXDYYZQA2B2C2| At first she was sure it was just a bit of dried strawberry juice | A |
| or a fleck of her mother's red nail polish that had flaked off | B |
| when she'd patted her daughter to sleep the night before | C |
| But as she scrubbed Snow felt a bump something festering | D |
| under the surface like a tapeworm curled up and living | D |
| in her left cheek | E |
| Doc the Dwarf was no dermatologist | F |
| and besides Snow doesn't get to meet him in this version | G |
| because the mint leaves the tall doctor puts over her face | H |
| only make matters worse Snow and the Queen hope | I |
| against hope for chicken pox measles something | D |
| that would be gone quickly and not plague Snow's whole | J |
| adolescence | K |
| If only freckles were red she cried if only | L |
| concealer really worked Soon came the pus the yellow dots | M |
| multiplying like pins in a pin cushion Soon came | N |
| the greasy hair The Queen gave her daughter a razor | O |
| for her legs and a stick of underarm deodorant | P |
| Snow | Q |
| doodled through her teenage years 'Snow ' in Magic | R |
| Markered hearts all over her notebooks She was an average | S |
| student a daydreamer who might have been a scholar | O |
| if she'd only applied herself She liked sappy music | R |
| and romance novels She liked pies and cake | T |
| instead of fruit | U |
| The Queen remained the fairest in the land | V |
| It was hard on Snow having such a glamorous mom | W |
| She rebelled by wearing torn shawls and baggy gowns | X |
| Her mother would sometimes say 'Snow darling | D |
| why don't you pull back your hair Show those pretty eyes ' | Y |
| or 'Come on I'll take you shopping ' | Y |
| Snow preferred | Z |
| staying in her safe room looking out of her window | Q |
| at the deer leaping across the lawn Or she'd practice | A2 |
| her dance moves with invisible princes And the Queen | B2 |
| busy being Queen didn't like to push it | C2 |
