Once Upon a Student Loan


Rapunzel was a free woman

Who had courage, beauty, and smarts.

But she desired an opportuniy, so she went looking

For a degree in the liberal arts.

She applied to her nearest college

And studied as much as she could

But although she acquired knowledge

She borrowed more money than one should.

When she earned her degree but couldn't find a job

The debt collectors chased her

One of them caught her as she began to sob

And locked her inside of a tower.
