CINDERELLA'S PRINCE
High in a tower-
Like yours was, but higher-
A beauty asleep
All round the tower
A thicket of briar
A hundred feet deep
Agony!
No frustration mor keen,
When the one thing you want
Is a thing that you've not even seen
RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE
I found a casket
Entirely of glass-
No, it's unbreakable
Inside- don't ask it-
A maiden, alas,
Just as unwakable-
BOTH
What unmistakable agony!
Is the way always barred?
RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE
She has skin white as snow-
CINDERELLA'S PRINCE
Did you learn her name?
RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE
No,
There's a dwarf standing guard
BOTH
Agony!
Such that Princes must weep!
Always in thrall most
To anything almost,
Or something asleep
CINDERELLA'S PRINCE
If it were not for the thicket-
RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE
A thicket's no trick
Is it thick?
CINDERELLA'S PRINCE
It's the thickest
RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE
The quickest
Is pick it
Apart with a stick-
CINDERELLA'S PRINCE
yes, but even one prick-
It's my thing about blood
RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE
Well, it's sick!
CINDERELLA'S PRINCE
It's no sicker
Than you thing with dwarves
RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE
Dwarfs
CINDERELLA'S PRINCE
Dwarfs
RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE
Dwarfs are every upsetting
BOTH
Not forgetting
The tasks unacheivable,
Mountains unscalable-
If it's conceivable
But unavailable,
Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh-
Agony!
CINDERELLA'S PRINCE
Misery!
BOTH
Not to know what you miss
CINDERELLA'S PRINCE
While they lie there for years-
RAPUNZEL'S PRINCE
And you cry on their biers-
BOTH
What unbearable bliss!
Agony
That can cut like a knife!
Ah, well, back to my wife
