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 PRIN
