Cinderella-ish


Out in the country somewhere covered in grime

There Rella did what her step sisters said at the drop of a dime

She lived with an endless supply of emotional baggage

Clearly she never thought once she’d go to college and become an educational savage

Years and years went by and bit by bit she learned

For knowledge she yearned and yearned

Her goal was to make history to be a powerful woman

And to be viewed as a full human

Not half not a quarter

On her mom she’d be more than a silly man’s daughter

And so she was and Cinderella did succeed

Yes she’s a one-of-a-kind breed
