Having a Ball
Cinderella maintained
the everyday chores:
- the cooking.
- the cleaning.
She scrubbed all the floors -
- she polished the silver.
- she sewed and
- she shopped.
She’d shovel the snow
(when the temperature dropped).
Managed the finances -
- paid all the bills.
- sustained seven children
- and Prince Charming's ills.
Cinderella realized that
things can go wrong:
- when happily ever after
doesn’t last...very long.
