Some Fairytales - Limericks


(Cinderella)

Dainty slipper of glass shined in sun ray, 
she had lost on her hurried run away.
     Entranced prince made ardent vow 
     to find her somewhere somehow, 
place it on her pretty feet come what may.

(Snow white and seven dwarfs)

She was lying in deep sleep, the prince found
her beauty was astoundingly profound. 
     He kissed her with perfection, 
     she woke up from dejection,
rare rapture she sensed for long all around.

(Alice in wonderland)

The Hatter was mad as much he could be, 
handing round infinite cups of hot tea.
     With puzzles and melody 
     they wandered along in glee 
through the confusion, amusingly free.

(Sleeping beauty)

The prince found her asleep, face sweet with flair, 
he kissed her with affection and with care. 
     She woke up with entranced eyes, 
     got filled with joy in surprise, 
expelled the curse with flashy flicker rare.
