The woman they thought was

One night was all it took to fall in love

That night went by softly like a dove

The night he thought he would have dreaded

Turned into the night he had regretted

The lady appeared, shiny and new

The lady of glass and a dress of blue

Unlike the others that stood in line

He knew this one was before her time

The brightest smile, the graceful hand

The most beautiful lady in all the land

And with that they danced and danced

At that moment he was in her trance

They escaped to a courtyard of green

So they could talk without being seen

But at that moment the clock had struck

Now at midnight the maiden was stuck

She ran to her carriage, swift and quick

That should have been when he knew it was a trick

She drove away, under the little and big dipper

But she forgot one thing, her shiny glass slipper

The next morning he set out to find

The lady he wanted so their love could bind

Through every town, through every street

He couldn't find the lady he wanted to keep

Then at the last, the very last house

With a fat cat, three wicked women and a mouse

They tried on the slippers, they pushed and shoved

And then she came from the room above

This can't be her, the young prince thought

but, truth be told, the other slipper she brought

The prince now stunned lowered his head in shame

he had fallen for a wench, he thought, it was just a game

The lady in blue, now covered in brown

No matter what, he could never give her a crown

So he thought, then figured a plan

Oh yes, readers, he was an awful man

She was a wench, he thought, they weren't the same blood

He could never love someone covered in mud

She got in the carriage and as they drove away

He knew that he didn't want her to stay

As they rounded the bend he opened the door

And pushed the young maiden onto the forest floor

They drove off and truth be told

The young maiden wa actually bold

He heard a chant come from the woods

Then a sound came from under the carriage's hood

The horse broke off, ran into the forest's depth

The prince went over the side of a cliff, and fell to his death

If you can't handle the godmother,

Then next time, don't bother!
