Mozerella
my name is Mozerella
my stepsister could be mistaken for Cruella
my stepmother is a horror
she makes me bake all day and sweep the floor
no one has ever loved me except my parents
unfortunately they passed during my adolescence
although this may sound rather cheesy
i, Mozerella, want a love of my own to please me
yet i'm stuck all day baking pasta
for my awful step mama
last week i attended the royal ball
the prince was handsome and tall
we danced until the clock struck midnight
until i ran into the night in a terrible fright
i have returned in fear to my kitchen
hoping against hope i listen
to see if the prince will come after me
i hear he is using my renowned linguini recipe
and testing every fair maiden
of their capability of cooking this delicacy
he arrives at my house
Cruella tries in vain to cook the linguini
but the prince dismisses her and turns his eyes on me
i bake the dish with pride
and set it before him brushing my stepmother aside
it's love at first bite
the prince orders my evil family away
and we leave at first light
now I, Mozerella, am happy at last
baking purely for pleasure with no fear of my past
