A Childhood as Long as Pinocchio's Nose

My Childhood is a Lie

I bet you’re wondering why

Let’s start with the words that everyone knows

It starts with Once Upon a Time

Let’s start with Cinderella’s stepsisters

Who cut their toes and heels for some “mister”

Oh did I forget to mention

Fairy Godmothers were not simply an invention

Instead Cinderella plants a tree for her mother

And somehow finds a dress like no other

But don’t forget the Prince

Who was smart enough to cover the stairs with pitch

So what, there is no happily ever after?

Unless you count the bird-pecking-eye out factor (stepsisters)

Now let me introduce you to my dear friend Snow White

Whose ending isn’t just as light

Sure Snow White wakes up from the poison apple spell

But the Evil Queen didn’t have it so well

At the end at least she was invited

Just to dance in hot iron clogs to keep the guests delighted

So I bet you can guess how this fairy tale ends?

I guess death is the latest trend

A deal about trading their firstborn child for some plant

Is something I couldn’t believe either, I can’t

I bet you already know the name of this fairy tale

It’s Rapunzel stuck in a tower like a jail

But Rapunzel wasn’t as innocent as you think

Turns out she was pregnant with twins as soon as you blinked

I won’t even mention the prince’s eyes

For he went blind in an attempt to die

Now before this sounds really tragic

Don’t forget Rapunzel’s tears are magic

And well believe it or not this story ends well

They go back to the kingdom and this is farewell

Now you’re probably wondering why the stories sound so strange

But really they are the same

Disney just tweaked the stories here and there

So kids could hear them everywhere

The only difference is how each story ends

In “Happily Ever After”, over and over again

The End
