Her head went crashing to the ground.
It bounced a bit and rolled around.
In the kitchen, peeling spuds,
Cinderella heard the thuds
Of bouncing heads upon the floor,
And poked her own head round the door.
СWhatТs all the racket?Т Cindy cried.
СMind your own bizz,Т the Prince replied.
Poor CindyТs heart was torn to shreds.
My Prince! she thought. He chops off heads!
How could I marry anyone
Who does that sort of thing for fun?
The Prince cried, СWhoТs this dirty slut?
СOff with her nut! Off with her nut!Т
Just then, all in a blaze of light,
The Magic Fairy hove in sight,
Her Magic Wand went swoosh and swish!
СCindy!Т she cried, Сcome make a wish!
СWish anything and have no doubt
СThat I will make it come about!Т
Cindy answered, СOh kind Fairy,
СThis time I shall be more wary.
СNo more Princes, no more money.
СI have had my taste of honey.
СIТm wishing for a decent man.
СTheyТre hard to find. DТyou think you can?Т
Within a minute, Cinderella
Was married to a lovely feller,
A simple jam-maker by trade,
Who sold good home-made marmalade.
Their house was filled with smiles and laughter
And they were happy ever after.



JACK AND THE BEANSTALK

СWhoТll buy our cow. Just say sheТs sound
СAnd worth at least a hundred pound.
СBut donТt you dare to let him know
СThat sheТs as old as billy-o.Т
Jack led the old brown cow away,
And came back later in the day,
And said, СOh mumsie dear, guess what
СYour clever little boy has got.
СI got, I really donТt know how,
СA super trade-in for our cow. С
The mother said, СYou little creep,
