"Daughter" of Mine -- Cinderella from the Stepmother's View
Such a dumb "daughter" of mine
Doesn't even know how to set the table
Acts as if she's related to the swine
She's just way to hard to enable
Such a pesky "daughter" of mine
Always playing with a bird or a rat
Acts as if she's of age nine
No Cinderella - and that's that
Such a sneaky "daughter" of mine
Somehow managed to go to the ball in an elaborate dress
I'm just hoping she will stay in line
But, well, I guess that is just too much stress
Such a dumb, pesky, sneaky "daughter" of mine
That is, until he finds out it was her shoe all along
Then, I assume she is the smart, quirky, perfect daughter of mine
But again, that's all wrong
Something wrong with this poem?
