Cinderella What Now

CINDERELLA WHAT NOW I’ve often seen you zoom past Mars, Blonde hair flowing and blowing In the breeze of the milky way, And its trillions of stars. I so longed for you to be mine, I imagined us sitting in the curve of the moon As it slowly began to wane, And we watched planet earth beneath us, And the gods of the seas sending tides Out, splashing foaming and dancing, Raging, loving that God and the Moon, Chose mother nature to run this chore, By being bossy and certainly imposing! Mystery girl what is your name, Is it true you are called Cinderella, You must be the fourth generation, And according to the invitation To the ball, your great grandparents were, Prince Charming and Cinderella The rich prince and the poor cinder girl With whom Prince Charming fell in love. And now you have all the wealth you need, Choose me, tell your dad what you really want, And take, a slight tumble, Learn to become a little humble. You have captivated my being, Only of you do I dream. I know you’re from Venus and hot, Many suitors you have got, From Jupiter, Mercury and Uranus, And Saturn, which one of us Will it be, For I want to marry you, I have no jewels To offer like the others, I am not poor, and will cherish you, And give you a good life, As my wife. Only love and devotion, From my heart with emotion. Pretty lady all will be disclosed At the Ball, at which your father Will name the lucky man. You are stunning, But for whom are you gunning? The night arrives, all the eligible Young men invited from every planet, Arrive in high tech space ships, Engineered to impress, Like your emerald studded green Much admired ball gown, gems in excess, Never in History has such a gown Been seen before, I’m on an emotional seesaw, Your green eyes seem cold, And your manner distant and bold. The suitor finally named, Prince Zuma From Jupiter and you will be Wife number ten. You must think long and hard About this wedding, You will be part of a harem, I whisper in her ear, I am leaving this pretentious scene I’m afraid this match might have a sad ending, You, being the subject of this plight., Should you need me, contact details In the hem of your pricey dress. Think hard, your life has Become quite a mess, Money has become your master, You are not thinking of forever after.

A fair and important question, we should all be asking. Penned in the right color of ink, that will still be readable a thousand years from now, along with springboks and hopefully all blacks. Best regards as always David in NZ

Cinderella the 4th (?) has become a product of her times, I see, thanks to the clever transformation created by one Jennifer P. ~ A. Nother Popped-Balloon

A fantastic story full of suspense and thrill. Let the Prince think more and more and take a better decision. She will soon learn that there won't be any thrill in becoming part of a harem! Very imaginative story telling that we are caught in the spell of your narration, dear Jenny.

WoW Jennifer. This story really makes one think about what happens next. After the ball, the courtship and then the wedding. Hmmmm maybe this prince ain't all he's cracked up to be. (wife number 10!?!) Good story my friend and then what happened! God Bless, JB

Hi Greek Sis! What a creative Mind you have! My mind only concentrates for short spurts. But am truly grateful that it functions at all.)))) Your poem could be made into a movie!!! Money, well earned is a good thing…God never said Money was evil. Greed is evil. Like the ordinary woman being jealous of her friends’ Diamond ring. Governments are the worst. Taking our taxes and giving us mandates in return, I sent you a soupmail with what you requested days ago. Check it out! Love, Panagiotaxx

Jennifer Jennifer Jennifer. Why is it that we never see or think of the forever after or should I say the complete picture. We get caught up in glitter and flair. You leave us readers with thought to remember. I loved your title by the way for you incorporated her with your message wonderfully. Have a wonderful morning and day. Blessings now and always.

Hi Tom, Thank you - do you know there are some avaricious women who keep up to date with obituaries famous or very rich women, who have passed and seek their husbands out, they target them. so there are some human women who are cads too. have a lovely Sunday, hugs, blessings, Jen
