From Soot To Riches

FROM SOOT TO RICHES Cinderella lost her tiny glass shoe, And after the ball there was much ado, To find the owner it took A while, she was sitting in soot A princess she was made and no longer blue.

Hi Lindsay, I'm certain that those who get a lucky break are indeed happy, what worries me, is that not being used to dealing with fame and money, their lifestyle sometimes takes a turn for the worst! Thank you for your apt comment. Poetry hugs, Jennifer.

Hi Caren , Challenge taken but how about we take it in turns, I'll go first, but my next poem is not a fairy tale, however my following one will be! Poetry hugs, Jennifer.

Hi Arthur, then you are a romantic who likes happy endings. I love this story and mostly all fairy tales, although yes, I believe in some of them also, so as you say cannot say tale, just story. Poetry hugs, Jennifer.
