Cinderella’s Diary Page 44
by Kimberly D. RobinsonLost my glass slipper
for quick I had to run,
to board before the Chariot
turn to pumpkin and mice
spell was doneHow could I imagine myself
wrapped in such precious arms
of a man, my evil step-sisters’
tried to win, while longing
for his quiet yet unbeknownst charmsMy Fairy Godmother said, “Rubbish!”
to those of wicked woes
no alternative at midnight
yet I reminisce of my Prince
and those glass slippers on my toesHow dare they? How could they?
Treat me so torturous and cruel
peace and love is all I long for
I combine revenge with a cup of tears
till I concoct one of their own witch’s brewBug eyes, prickly pear
add scorpions and snails
a dash of their perfume
pinch of snake spice and
a cup of cat-o-nine tailsPositively would bring me joy
to witness the evil one’s wince
to serve them this grand lunch
as I pray the matching slipper finds me
as I silently beckon my handsome PrincePlease enjoy the meal, courtesy from me to you
as I dream of a life with my Prince
alas evil step-mother and sisters too
for one by one will certainly die
in the name of Cinderella vengeance
