Cinderella Retold

There once was a girl who only did chores.

She never visted the mall with its stores. 

She cleaned and she sang, and talked to strange mice, 

And most people thought the girl was quite nice. 

However, after her father died

An evil stepmother took over and lied. 

She said Cinderella was just a maid, 

Which slowly made her happiness fade. 

One fateful night a handsome prince,

Announced with a wince, 

That he should hold a ball. 

He hoped he would not fall, 

For he was not ready to marry. 

In a haste, quite scary, 

The stepmother ordered Cinderella to ready her sisters. 

Cinderella did this with help from rodent critters. 

She secretly wished to go as well, 

So came the fairy godmother to cast a spell. 

The girl went and danced, 

While at the castle she glanced. 

Midnight: away she ran to her home, 

No longer free to roam. 

The prince searched the kingdom, 

Trying the shoe on women of random. 

He draws up to Cinderella's quarter,

Noticing that she was a little shorter. 

Though he knew her, 

They could never be as they were, 

For again the shoe fell. 

Cinderella the story could no longer tell, 

So she ran away. 

Never to be seen another day.
