REIGN

  Sit back and allow me to tell you this tale,

About a girl who was very young and very pale

  Her parents died when she was a child,

She how lives with her stepmother and stepsisters, and they are wild

  A girl named Cinderella has to now behave like a slave, her bright world is now covered in shade like an umbrella

  One day there was a ball, the prince looking for a girl, fairest of them all

Cinderella was so excited and made her own dress,

But her stepmother ripped it, and the stepsisters did the rest

  She ran outside to cry and hide,

Then she heard a voice, somewhere near by

  Suddenly, a women flew out from the trees and landed easily as if it were a breeze

  Hello Cinderella, I see you sad and down,

Do not worry, I will make you a dress that will make all the girls frown!

   Cinderella's ripped dress evaporated into a stunning light blue dress,

  The women turned rats into horses, a pumpkin into a carriage, then said "now go! Wow the prince and he will take your hand in marriage!" 

  That night, all heads turned, 

men's mouths dropped and the stepmother's forehead began to burn

   After a dance and a long talk, Cinderella told the prince " I must go at 12:00."

  When he asked why, Cinderella didn't want to say,

So the prince said "whoever you are or whoever you were, it doesn't matter, I love you all the same."

  She told him the truth about the stepmother and stepsisters,

She began to see a tear in his eye,

And in anger he asked "would you like them to die?"

Cinderella thought and said " I cannot lie, this will make me very happy inside."

 And with a quick order, the stepmother and stepsisters were hanged

And that's just the beginning of princess Cinderella's reign.
