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 Originally posted on April 21, 2018 Submitted on April 28, 2018 for contest ANY RHYMING POEM IN APRIL sponsored by LAURA LOO - RANKED 4TH

Line, your wondrous poem enchanted me from its title to the last line. A great monorhyme with awesome imagery, I especially love, 'No secrets told near mimicking corella' - ingenious and creative poetry. Congratulations on your excellent win!

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

Walt was a dear friend of mine. He's been gone long enough, I figure it's time the real story got out.
