The Royal Tailor: Cinderella I Poem By Rajvanshika, 7, Faridabad
Can you imagine Cinderella’s story being something else? Rajvanshika Mor, a 7-year-old from Faridabad, weaves an intriguing poem.
The Royal Tailor: Cinderella
Let’s begin by discussing Cinderella,
Not your ordinary Cinderella, but a Cinderella who worked hard.
Hard work was something she never shirked;
When her evil stepsisters went off to the ball,
To prance and dance in the royal party hall,
She did not fall back, instead, made her gown,
Her self-made accessories were, in fact, the best in town!
The sudden warmth made the balloons of the hall shine bright,
Even though the sun emitted scarce light.
When her family left,
Her mind wove a thought of theft.
A strong girl, not a hobbledehoy –
She decided to steal a horse from the neighbourhood boy!
He wore clothes that were black and white,
Making him look poor and not at all bright!
He was pepper-bearded and towered at a great height,
While he snored on his big, big bed,
As it was ten at night in his head!
Cinderella snuck up to his majestic backyard
And stole his favourite pony named Mr. Barnyard!
She got on the pony and rode away into the night,
She reached the royal palace and saw the prince in his gleaming suit.
He was clad in a majestic top and gold-buckled boots.
“You are wearing beautiful clothes, madam,” the prince said with a smile.
“Where did you get them from? They’re bright like the River Nile!”
“I made it myself,” said Cinderella with a grin,
“From rags and bits of cloth from the recycling bin.”
The prince was surprised and said, “I could never make one in my life!”
“I am impressed by your dedication and strife!”
“I hire you as my royal tailor instantly,” he said,
“Will you sew the quilts for my majestic bed?”
“It would be my honour to do as you like,”
“But can I stay in the royal castle for a little while?”
The prince replied with a soft chuckle,
“You’re here to stay forever in my home.”
“There are rooms and gardens for you to roam.”
Now Cinderella was the royal tailor; she jumped up and down in glee.
She was as happy as a golden bee!
