Nonsense_Fractured Fairy Tale.


Chanced upon a book one day,

Bent, dog-eared, tattered and frayed,

Found within, read with a grin,

This fractured fairy tale,

Laughter shall not fail.


Cinderella's real story,

Not such glory...

Ma woke up one fine morn,

"Cinders!" she cried with such scorn,

"Cinders, you did what?

 Cinders, you little grot!
Cinderella, are you on drugs?

What prince gave you hugs?
Where is our  pumpkin for tea?

Where's your pet mice, prithee?

Cinderella, Cinderella,

Where is this fella?

Are you on drugs?

What handsome prince gave you hugs?

Did you forget the pill?
Why, you silly dill!

You'll be a single mother.

Cinders, this is your mother,

Not some fairy godmother,

What fairy godmother?

Where is this handsome fella?

Cinderella, Cinderella,

What did you do with that fella?   

Wake up, Cinderella!!


This is a fractured fairy tale,

Laughter indeed did not fail.
