Kiddie fear-mongering

["Rob, grandpa of Ryan, Trevor, Devon & Hannah" <rMslade () shaw ca>]

Bruce Schneier's Fifth Annual Movie Plot Threat Contest: 

"Your task, ye Weavers of Tales, is to create a fable of fairytale 
suitable for instilling the appropriate level of fear in children so 
they grow up appreciating all the lords do to protect them."

The winner is:

         The Gashlycrumb Terrors, by Laura

         A is for anthrax, deadly and white.
         B is for burglars who break in at night.
         C is for cars that have minds of their own
             and accelerate rapidly in a school zone.
         D is for dynamite lit with a fuse.
         E is for everything we have to lose.
         F is for foreigners, different and strange.
         G is for gangs and the crimes they arrange.
         H is for hand lotion, more than three ounces;
             let's pray some brave agent soon sees it and pounces.
         I is for implants (I'll explain when you're older).
         J is for jokers who only grow bolder.
         K is for kids who aren't afraid
             to play in the park or drink lemonade.
         L is for lead in our toys and our food.
         M is for Mom's cavalier attitude.
         N is for neighbors -- you never can tell:
             is that a book club or terrorist cell?
         O is for ostrich, with head in the sand.
         P is for plots to blow up Disneyland.
         Q is for those who would question authorities.
         R is for radical sects and minorities.
         S is for satanists, who have been seen
             to give children razor blades on Halloween.
         T is for terrorists, by definition.
         U is for uncensored acts of sedition.
         V is for vigilance, our leaders' tool
             for keeping us safe, both at home and at school.
         W is for warnings with colors and levels.
         X is for xraying bags at all revels.
         Y is for you! So don't be a dope.
         Z is for zero tolerance, our finest hope.

It is a humbling experience knowing that your fate depends on a
vehicle built by the lowest bidder!
