Once Upon a Time...


Once upon a time 

in a land far away

cinderella was forced

to do chores all day

her step sisters were mean

her step mother was cruel

her father was dead

her life kinda drooled

then one day a invitation came

for the ball held by a prince

it said "Help the price find a bride"

in the fanciest prints

"we are going to get married" 

the step sisters shouted with glee

"OK have fun" said cinderella

"I'll have the house just to me"

The sisters got their gowns 

Step mother got her lace

and once they left the house

"I'll put them in their place!"

cinderella proclaimed

she put barf in their shampoo

put glue in their chairs.

super glued their brushes 

and filled them with goat hair.

she she whoopie cushioned the couches

and put mice in their beds

even replaced their laces 

with string made of lead.

"Now the pranks are set its time to get out!

Im going to college.

Peace out!"

cinderella left for harvard

(on a full ride)

now as she was headed  for a life of success

her sisters and mother 

where stuck on their chairs
