Once upon a time

Or more like once upon a rhyme

It is a surprise to me that no one ever asked

“Why didn’t Cinderella stick up for herself?”

Instead of get thrown about, bashed

Because indeed she was a victim of bullying

Due to her wicked step mother and bozo step sisters

Her life would have been much easier

If the harassment had missed her

Well this is the remix of Cinderella

Where she was a headstrong princess

And no longer a poor damsel in distress:

“Hey hey, step mother

I’m not cleaning anything else

And if you think I’ll be stuck in this house all night

You had better think twice!

I’m going to meet my prince and we will live happily ever after

So good luck to your hideous daughters

Because they are truly a disaster

I’ve had enough and will no longer obey your absurd demands

If you try any funny business, you’ll meet my whole clan

They may just be mice but they are not all I’ve got

I also have a fairy godmother

And together they will do a lot!

So, so long to the old Cinderella

This princess will become a queen

So treat her like one, you better!

Oh Step mother, you will get nowhere being mean!"
