Never Slouch As Drippier Drop a Slipper

~`T was in Disney land, Walt Disney’s grand, 
   Cinderella, rags to riches, met her charming prince.
   She did not lose her shoe, but she threw, 
   there out of the blue, to divine prince her shoe. 

~What is apples to oranges, her ugly sisters knew, 
   though what could they do, they knew she threw her shoe?
   Cinderella had a hand, was her plan there in Disney land, 
   for all hopes get complete, by faith in virtue sweet. 

   All odds were beat, of this rags to riches story so sweet, 
   Ugliness is never bliss, will never learn from true love’s kiss. 
   `Tis where Linda Marie, a child at heart, first got her start, 
   in this Cinderella part, and  the trust we see, in her poetry! 

   She is no slouch nor drippier, of worship you will never strip her, 
   Cinderella met this fellow, from thence you will never quell her. 
   Take a note, never gloat, drop you slipper, do not slouch as drippier. 
   This be how “Sweetheart of Poetry Soup” remains so chipper! 

   You will never flip her, she knows how to drop proverbial slipper, 
   All ugly sisters, slouch of drippiers, have not famous slippers.
   A beauty of teaching apparent, in Walt’s fairy land of fate. 
   Love’s affections, Cinderella’s gait, by it Linda found a soul mate. 

   For and in honor of Linda Marie
   And contest: Disney
