Poor Cinderella

POOR CINDERELLA

poor cinderella 
her pumpkin coach was delayed
castle clock struck twelve
once again a chamber maid
the handsome prince was dismayed

she was dressed in rags
her glass slippers were old boots
her hair a disgrace
the prince didn’t give a hoot
he knew that beautiful face

so? what did he do?
i’ll not give you the answer
it is up to you
please write an ending, dear friend
to my comments then please send

She hooked up with The "Emperor's New Clothes" dude and when he went out gallavanting in his new attire, she raided his wardrobe? Before midnight lost one of his oversized shoes when taking flight? Okay, I'm in silly mode.:( Keep well Daver, Love you, Mikki

still waiting for a new poem!! Yes, you are so right on the comment you made to me. The newbies are not getting it. But the newbies with lots of comments under their poems from other poets have mastered the art of poet "Eddicut" haha.

He did not care about a gold shoe. Old boots will do. To his castle they flew!!
