The Secret of Rapunzel


Once apon a time... 

Rapunzel was born inside a castle. 

To the King and Queen of Basle  

Except Rapunzel was not their daughter 

She was born to a cottar. 

The cottar missed her daughter so, 

She took her to a place she could watch her grow, 

Unbeknownst to the king and Queen. 

Rapunzel was never allowed outside to the grass so green. 

She grew to feel resentful  

Because her life was never eventful. 

The cottar seeing her so unhappy, 

Told her lie when feeling a little sappy. 

The cottar told her she was actually a princess 

And that she'd been taken by the cottar's meanness. 

She let Rapunzel go 

Even though it killed her to know 

She would never see her again 

And be thrown in the castle dungeons. 

The end.
