ONCE UPON A TIME

Once Upon A Time Poem

By: Aumique Bost

Once upon a time…

          Cinderella was dressed oh so fine

          Headed to the ball looking quite divine

          She dances and sings as time flies by

          11:58 hits and she yells “MY, MY, MY”

          She runs into a prince, who kisses her goodbye

          Then she immediately turns to the color of his bow-tie

          She is now a creature very small and slimy

          She hops home looking like poison ivy

          She gets home safely and looks in the mirror

          Only wishing that her vision was clearer

          She hears footsteps getting closer to her door

          She knew it was her mom saying

          “Princess Tiana clean the kitchen floor!”

          She leaps in her bed

          And closes her eyes        

          Only to magically turn into another surprise

          They call her Sleeping Beauty

          Because she’s slept for so long

          Although that bed isn’t at all where she belonged.
