Cinderella's Christmas Snow-Ball
Once upon a bright snowy Christmas Day
Cinderella wished to go out to play
A snowball fight or skating, she would like
But the sad lass she never gets on ice.
It soon came to Cinder’s, out loud and clear
She really wasn't liked or wanted here
Except to toil all day, morning to night
For the step-family who loathed her sight.
Her father had no say whatsoever
He’d gone and wed a wicked stepmother
Her daughters who were an ugly duo
Took after their mother, very much so.
Cinder’s danced round the kitchen with her broom
Mice would join in, to brighten the gloom
Dreams kept her going, she knew some day
A prince would come and take her away.
Now, Cinder's had a fairy godmother
Who loved and thought the world of her
She came this day and shooed her away
Wrapped up nice and warm for a play day.
Then she waved her magic star-dust wand
All Cinder’s chores were done in respond
The turkey got cooked and so did the pud
For once her girl was let off the hook.
The ugly duo got the shock of their life
To see Cinder’s skate like a dream on ice
Her spins and flips were out of this world
With faces gone green they were lost for words.
Prince Charming came passing along the way
Saw Cinderella and thought "she looks ok"
Most charmed, he invited her to the ball
The rest’s history of a perfect after all.
