Daughter to Father
By: Mrs. Hedaria

Daddy let me tell you:

Life hasnt been no fairy tale.
Its had poisoned apples,
And lost slippers,
And candy houses with evil witches,
And beasts that lock you in towers
Lonely.
But all the time
Ive been havin hope,
And findin fairy god mothers,
And dancin in the snow,
Waitin for the curse to be reversed.
So daddy, dont you worry.
Dont trust the old ladies with candy
cause you think it looks yummy.
Dont you leave your slipper on the steps --
For Ise still looking for the Prince with my shoe,
Ise still searchin the castle for the cursed rose,
And life hasnt been no fairy tale.
