News that Euro Disney requires a financial bail-out has rather taken a shine off the golden image.
It Dis’nae Work
There’s gloom in the Magic Kingdom,
And Pinocchio’s wearing a frown,
There’s less visitors to Euro-Disney,
And all of the numbers are down.
There may have to be some cutbacks,
In this cartoon paradise heaven -
Less than one hundred and one dalmatians
And dwarves are too many at seven.
Bashful and Dopey are in for the chop,
And Sleepy and Sneezy will soon have a shock:
Happy and Grumpy are bound to be jumpy,
When all they’re left with is Doc.
The Aristocats will scatter like rats,
Pluto and Goofy head out into the night.
Jiminy Cricket will be given his ticket,
And no place left for Snow White.
The Lady may have to become a Tramp,
The Little Mermaid no more will be gadding,
A final tune for Silly Symphonies,
And there’s no room for Aladdin.
The theme park may have to go dark,
The old Jungle Book has run out of luck,
As the administrators move in,
Evicting Captain Hook and Donald Duck.
Perhaps they need Alice in Wonderland,
To bring along some of her magic,
Or is there a role for The Fairy Godmother,
To avoid a fate that’d be tragic?
Then there’s Peter Pan – he might have a plan,
And Tigger might see what he could do.
If Sleeping Beauty was only on duty,
We could call in Winnie The Pooh!
But a bail-out’s not the end of the line:
Mary Poppins could chase away a frown,
That’d be super-callifragilistic,
And’d help the medicine go down.
Can young Bambi or old Minnie Mouse
Do something expiallidocious,
To avoid a life of Bedknobs & Broomsticks,
Or even something more atrocious?
It’s down to these Dumbo accountants,
For telling truth is not in their habit.
It’s a shocking case of mis-management,
As bad as Who Fwamed Woger Wabbit!
Disney’s no Beauty now, only A Beast,
Whose long history only hinders
Its Fantasia of recovery,
And its reputation in Cinders.
Walt Disney would revolve in his grave,
To see his empire sink in this pit,
Its morals cast aside, taken for a ride -
But it always was a Mickey Mouse outfit.
