Let us begin by talking about Cinderella,
Not your ordinary Cinderella, but a Cinderella who worked
Hard work is something she never shirked
When her evil step sisters went off to the ball
To prance and dance in the royal party hall
She did not fall back, and her made own gown
Her self-made accessories were, in fact, the best in town!

A strong girl, and not a hobbledehoy –
She decided to steal a horse from the neighbourhood boy!
He was wearing clothes that were black and white
That made him look poor, and not at all bright!
He was pepper-bearded and towered at a great height
While he was snoring on his big, big bed –
As it was ten at night in his head!
Cinderella snuck up to his majestic backyard
And stole his favorite pony – Mr. Barnyard!

She got on the pony, and rode away into the night!
She reached the royal palace, and saw the prince in his gleaming suit!
He was clad in a majestic top, and gold-buckled boots.
“You are wearing beautiful clothes, madam,” the prince said with a smile
“Where did you get them from? They’re bright like the River Nile!”

“I made them myself” said Cinderella with a grin –
“From rags and bits of cloth from the recycling bin”
The prince was surprised, and said “I could never make one in my life!”
“I am impressed by your dedication and strife!”

“I hire you as my royal tailor instantly” he said –
“Will you sew the quilts for my majestic bed?”
“It would be my honor to do it”
“But can I stay in the royal castle, for a little bit?”

The prince replied, with a soft chuckle –
“You’re here to stay forever in my home!”
“There are rooms and gardens for you to roam!”

Now Cinderella was the royal tailor, she jumped up and down in glee –
She was as happy as a golden bee!
