| Cinderella |
Listen, my friends A story told About a maiden Beautiful and bold She was born alone An orphaned lass And became a princess Through a slipper of glass This is her story Told in rhyme Cinderella Once upon a time... A beautiful maiden Maid to suffer By wicked step-sisters And cruel step mother A thousand chores Day after day She cleaned and served And barely complained Then one afternoon One of the King's court came calling A grand ball to be held To end the Prince's stalling For on this night He would choose his wife And he would marry her On that very night The step-sisters squealed And hurried away To primp and prime For their selfish display Cinderella sighed For she wanted to go But what could she wear To that kind of a show Then later as she slept A sound was heard Her fairy god-mother Arrived with a surge Awoke with a start And a bit of surprise Wondering what happened Not believing her eyes Spells were cast To assist her desire From mundane to magick She was attired Mice became horses A pumpkin her carriage So she set off To seek her marriage But one warning she forgot As she sped away At midnight she'll return Back to the mundane She arrived at the ball And all eyes observed Cinderella the common In the finery she deserved The Prince was amazed He knew she would be his wife And they would marry On this very night But then the clock Tolled midnight's chime And Cinderella remembered She was out of time So she ran off Quickly she dashed For her time was up And the spell wouldn't last As she ran Quickly away She lost one slipper Of glass it was made The next morning The Prince went to discover The foot that matched And so find his lover When he came to the house Cinderella hid And the step sisters tried To make the shoe fit Then from out of the shadows Cinderella emerged To try on the slipper The sisters thought her absurd Then to their dismay The shoe fit quite well Perfect in fact They were angry as hell Then Prince then knew he had found his wife And they lived happily ever after For the rest of their lives |
