Line Gauthier Poet Monorhyme

The Real Story

Single slippered Cinderella
Yesternight’s ball bella
Angelic voices heard a cappella
Followed by lovely clarabella

The dinner served was paella 
With a side of shredded mozzarella 
While faking a case of salmonella
Cinderella invited her fella
To follow her into the cella

Lingering aroma of citronella
With a pleasant tinge of canella
No secrets told near mimicking corella
Misplacing both shoe and umbrella



[ Clarabella = instrument much like a flute; Cella = a room in a temple; Corella = a cockatoo ]

Gershon Wolf April 22, 2018 at 7:01 PM Beware the "mimicking corella!" Oh, Line, this is simply wonderful. Disney dissed. (Ha, he deserved it, the mean old coot---who brought joy to the world). Smiles! ~ Gershon Line Gauthier April 22, 2018 at 9:24 PM Walt was a dear friend of mine. He's been gone long enough, I figure it's time the real story got out.
