Cinderella Fellow

Cinderella Fellow Cinderella Fellow Once upon a dreary day He had to appear before a jury To see if he would be hand over to zoo keeper To be sentenced to captivity in a cage or put on a leash until he earned his freedom Cinderella Fellow Cinderella Fellow He dressed his best to impress the jury That he was tame not insane Just a victim of mistaken identity Cinderella Fellow Cinderella Fellow He hoped in to his chariot To make his journey to appear before the court Along the way he stop off in the market place To purchase a potion mad from a magical bean That would Energies him with the power of caffeine In market place every maiden’s eye was caught in a trance by his fancy sport coat,tie,and pants Every maiden he passed showered him with flowery Compliments Cinderella Fellow Cinderella Fellow When the jury was held The King Of Kings pulled the strings of the hearts of the noble of the court To show mercy To grant Cinderella Fellow the privilege to remain free Cinderella Fellow Cinderella Fellow The next day he hoped into his truck to make his way to the market place Along the way he stopped off at Wawa to purchase a cup of Joe He cheerfully greeted every fair lady He passed The fair lady were all deaf and blind to his existence As if he and them were existing in two different dimension At first he found their reaction to him to be lame and very strange Then he saw his reflection in a picture window He no long wore his fancy sports coat,tie,and pants that caught every maiden’s eye holding them in a trance causing them to shower him with flowery Compliments He was wearing humble faded jeans and a cheap T-shirt Now Cinderella Fellow knows what it feel like when a book is judge by it’s cover Not by the story that is written on the pages inside Cinderella Fellow Cinderella Fellow Written by Stephen J.
