Ahhh Cinderella! ©arlene s bice
As a teen, I longed for my prince to come
haul me up onto his great white horse
ride into the sunset, travel, dance, sing
no one told me he was really a toad
no way would we ride onto the road
troubles and sorrows on me did he load
till I finally grew up and wised up, too
bought my own horse-power, that was
first a 2-wheeled Honda, then a Harley
candy-apple red, shiny and took myself
over mountains, down into valleys low
vroom, vroom, wherever I wanted to go.
