Who dropped the crumbs?
Weren’t they concealed by
leaves or dirt on the path?
Oh, also, houses are blown
down in real life by tornados.
Did a pig snout have such force,
or am I confusing it with another
narration?  When I reach for my
red-hooded coat, do I need a
wicker basket to complete
the outfit?  I can huff and puff
just doing exercise.  Why do
I get soup either too hot or too
cold and seldom just right?  Oh.
It wasn’t soup in the story; maybe
that’s why.  The vine climbing
a backyard tree could be Jack’s
beanstalk and it’s so strong I
can’t seem to remove the
thickened crimson thing.
