Prince Charming

Prince Charming.
Ahh…No one sweeter.
You handsome, charming,
Backstabbing cheater.

The way you brushed,
My long golden hair.
I thought it was love
When you climbed it up there.

We were doing just fine,
Then, alas came another.
This one sorry girl
And an evil stepmother.

Now I’m alone
But my wit isn’t dull,
Men must climb twice as high,
To reach me Rapunzel.

***
Prince Charming
You got rid of my rags.
I thought it was love,
Then you packed your bags.

If I had anther wish,
I’d wish the slipper mangled.
When it fell from my foot,
As the midnight bells jangled.

How foolish of me,
To wish us wed.
Oh that poor girl,
You went to wake from her bed.

I would have been better off
With a vampire like Bella,
Than a two-timer’s name
Tacked on after Cinderella.

***
Prince Charming ,
You made me wake.
You vile, slippery,
Venomous snake.

I thought it was love
When you killed the cruel witch.
When you kissed me awake,
I never dreamed you’d ditch.

I don’t care where you’re going,
Cause you just left heaven.
Your new girl has dwarves,
She puts up with seven?

You’ve given me a headache,
At very best you’re snooty.
I going back to sleep,
For I am Sleeping Beauty.

***
Prince Charming,
You were beat here by Shrek,
I’m so glad for that,
Your record’s a wreck!

The other girl,
You woke from her sleep.
That was good,
But you left her counting sheep!

And Cinderella,
I bet she smashed those slippers,
Poor, poor Rapunzel.
Handled grief with hair clippers.

As for me,
Oh no you ain’t gonna.
You won’t play love’ em -leave’ em,
With this Princess Fiona.

***

Aha, this was awesome. They were all so funny, and I love the way you gave the princesses modern day voices. If you know what I mean. Awesome job!

I absolutely loved all of these poems! My favorites were Sleeping Beauty and Rapunzel, the funniest was Princess Fiona, but they were all great! Humor is your strong spot!
