Taking a Break

Although I'm young am tired you see from all the scheduled laborious activities stepmother decided to step out momentarily with stepsisters going on a ball shopping spree, With me home alone to do arduous tasks such as making candles from the bees wax washing the dishes, sweeping and making the beds making all the meals which I fear they will dread, Growing and cultivating the vegetable garden milking the cows out in the barn pen basically waiting on the step family hand and foot cleaning out the fireplace with all of the soot, Gossip lately about going to the prince's ball always ridiculing me like I'm just a serf rag doll saying I'm not good enough to go with them to stay home and sweep and look after the pets, So as I take a break from all of the housework I enjoy the peace and quiet for all that it's worth sitting here in my chair with my broom by my side daydreaming of one day becoming the prince's bride. 9-1-17 Cinderella by Norman Rockwell
