Cinderella and the Stepbrother

Her mother did die

She was not able to say goodbye

Her dad remarried

Her mother was buried

The new wife was awfully mean

She still just made Cinderella clean

There were no stepsisters from the stepmother

But instead there was a stepbrother

He did not want Cinderella to have fun

He kept her inside while he went in the sun

The news of the ball broke out

All Cinderella did was pout

She wanted to go

But everyone said no

The stepbrother especially said no ball

He did not want Cinderella to have fun at all  

The fairy godmother came at just the right time

The stepbrother was busy counting his dimes

He did not notice as Cinderella left wearing a dress

She was finally happy, without any stress

Cinderella arrived and danced with the prince

By this time the stepbrother had noticed her disappearance

He was furious and set out to find her

But luckily for Cinderella, the fairy godmother was behind her

As soon as the stepbrother came in the door

Cinderella saw him and ran across the floor

As she left the prince she lost her shoe

She ran for the pumpkin, wondering what to do

Cinderella changed quickly when she was home

She wanted to avoid her stepbrother’s mean tone

The stepbrother returned and glared at his sister

But he had no proof she had danced with any mister

A few days later the prince did come

He was looking for the foot that would be the one

Cinderella saw him down the street

And she knew that he was looking for her feet

The stepbrother told her not to come outside

But when the prince came, she could not help but let out a cry

The prince heard the sound

He swiveled his head, looking around

Cinderella emerged, from the back fence

The prince saw her and it all made sense

He had known the brother from a long time ago

It would be just like him to tell somebody no

The prince had seen him at the big dance

Right when the mystery woman had left him in a trance

The shoe should confirm what he thought he knew

And he could tell that Cinderella recognized him too

She reached out her foot and the shoe fit just right

Not too loose and not too tight

The stepbrother’s words were lost in the wind

Just like the carriage that the couple rode away in
