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 Date: 4/22/2018 7:01:00 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 Login to Reply Line Gauthier Date: 4/22/2018 9:24:00 PM Walt was a dear friend of mine. He's been gone long enough, I figure it's time the real story got out.
