Rapunzel the later yearsA Poem by Jeff Overtona funny take on the rapunzel story when she has aged. Rapunzel, let down your golden hair" So Rapunzel did as he asked and threw him down a chair The prince moved out the way And replied “I said hair not chair You dozy mare "Rapunzel let down your golden hair" So Rapunzel did as he asked And threw down a long eared hare This made the prince quite angry But he thought he’d ask again After all he loved her So here we go again "Rapunzel let down your golden hair" So she did as he had asked And threw down a set of trousers This in turn confused the prince then realized What she had heard And replied “ Rapunzel I said let down your golden hair Not a pair of 1970s golden flairs" The prince now he did worry She couldn’t get it right Maybe her hearing aid wasn’t turned up right "Rapunzel let down you golden hair" So she did as he had asked And threw down a golden fur this made the prince worry what she would throw down next he was really getting vexed so replies "Jesus Christ you stupid mare I said your bloody hair Not a golden coat of fur" The prince replies out of despair Poor Rapunzel looked on dumbfounded She just couldn’t get it right Little did she realize Her hearing aid wasn’t turned up right She thought the price no longer loved her And let down her golden hair so the prince she loved so much could use it as some makeshift stairs The prince made use of the objects and started with the chair he used it to reach her hair Then put on the trousers And the golden fur Then picked up the long eared hare Then climbed her golden hair Finally he reaches the top And says “Rapunzel have you lost the plot?” She replies “ sorry I don’t have a cooking pot” This made the prince angry Much angrier than before He even thought about cutting her hair And falling to the floor He even thought about skipping using her hair at all And using her front door But he thought he’d give her one last chance plus he looked good in his golden pants “Jesus Rapunzel, what do I have to do To get through to you?" She replied, “you look after yourself I don’t need to go to the loo” "That’s it I’ve had enough" the prince says in dismay And turns to walk away But Rapunzel grabs his arm and whispers "Please will you stay? I realize I didn’t have my hearing aid Turned up like it should be Now I have turned it up We can both live happily" The end
