Once upon a time

She wasn't a princess

 

Once upon a time

She didn't know the prince

 

Once upon a time

Her life wasn't perfect

 

Once upon a time

No fairy godmother came to save her

 

So she decided to save herself

 

She gathered her bags

And walked out the door

Told her step-mum "so long"

And her step-sis "goodbye"

 

She began anew

And started a shop

She made dresses galore

And shoes exquisite

 

He came to her

And was missing a boot

He asked for the girl

Who crafted clothes from threads

 

She answered

"I am she"

And proceeded to create a new boot

 

He took her to a dance

Where she wore her finest dress

He wore his new boot with pride

As they danced away the night

 

The clock struck twelve

And she hastened away

For she had to finish a pair

Of shoes made from glass

 

Little did she know

Those glass slippers she made

Were for her

To be worn down the isle

 

He married the girl

Whose life was no fairytale

Who had no Once Upon a Time

So decided to make her own

 

Though her tale was not a classic

She never wanted it to be

She was not cut from that cloth

The cloth that made

Those "Once Upon a Time"s
