The Great Escape
Cinderella mopped the floor
She scrubbed the fireplace and more.
Singing soprano while she worked
She did her best and never shirked.
Interlude never ensued –
No slack attack; she had the knack.
Good attitude and power packed.
Her spirit always seemed to perk.
She made a game of all her work.
Never rude, great attitude –
Soon dreams grew bright despite her plight.
Her inner strength was choosing right
Although she worked with all her might,
Her angry mom complained all night.
The peace unglued…love eschewed –
When she grew up, she moved away.
Though she felt hollow on that day.
She learned to love, to laugh, and play.
Sharing her joy along the way.
Success in view…self-valued –
Inspired by “Yakety Yak & Charlie Brown” Growing up, was difficult for me. There was a lot of “Yakety-
yaking going on that was unpleasant. So, I found escape imagining that I was Cinderella while I did my
chores. (Although my mom was NOT a mean old step-mom.)
On a crisp fall morning the air had turned cool.
We were getting ready for the first day of school.
Mom said"eat your breakfast and grab your coats".
I'm in a hurry mom I got so many books to toat.
Walking outside the wind was blowing,leaves were falling.
We heard a voice holloring it was our mom calling.
She said"hey come back and get your lunch money".
I said thank goodness no more peanut butter and honey.
On our way to school there was a little girl crying.
My older brother said keep walking don't start prying.
I ask her what happened she said she lost her money for lunch.
I said don't cry you can share lunch with the Fuller bunch.
I met my best friend on the first day of school.
Thats why I say bestfriends rule.

True friends until the end.
