No More Tales! Just Fair and Tall!

I tried to think of the fairytale,
pretty pink complexions and white that was pale.
The story of Cinderella and the Rapunzel,
Good girls who despite temptations never fell.

I turned the page one after the other,
full of dragons, the witches and the evil mother.

While one had the dwarfs for rescue
The other had to pass the test of shoe,

One gave her tresses so fair,
all in the hope to find her perfect pair.

Oh! Mother cut my hair,
make me lose my shoe,
cast a spell, or poison me
Do something, or give me pain that makes me wince,
or how shall I ever find my perfect prince.
