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
