Poem Title:
Poem
The happily ever after... He searched the kingdom for a fortnight 'til all saddle sore and weary, With his eyes bloodshot and bleary, The prince arrived at the last door. He found two sisters, far too ugly, and an even uglier mother, And asked himself why even bother, This whole darn quest's become a bore. Then from the kitchen came the vision he had searched so far and wide for. He asked stepmother what she'd lied for To say the three of them were all. A flash, a crash, there was the gown, and then he saw her bare right flipper, And on the left, a crystal slipper… The girl he'd danced with at the ball. The stepmother feigned regret that they had sadly so misjudged her, T'was for her good that they'd begrudged her, But to a prince one shouldn't lie. On her wedding day the trio met the fate they should have dreaded, They were arrested and beheaded, And Cindy never blinked an eye. The wedding feast and celebration were the grandest in the nation, The king and queen felt jubilation, Their son was "normal", after all. They could retire and the crown would be passed down to their descendants, Their kid, grandkids, and co-dependents, They were so glad they'd had that ball. But on their wedding night the prince confirmed his sexual confusion, And forced them both to the conclusion, Theirs was no fairy tale romance. But still they made the marriage work, although they had no little nippers, Sometimes he wore her gown and slippers, And Cinderella wore the pants. So, in conclusion, Cinderella got her semi-happy ending, In spite of all the rules I'm bending To tell her tale and make it new. It wasn't meant to be so grand, But what my muse commands, I do, And now in bidding fond adieu, My hat is off to those of you Who stuck it out and read it through. The End
