Cinderella\u2019s Takedown<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
We knew they were wicked,<\/p>\n
just didn\u2019t know how.<\/p>\n
Stepmom and two daughters,<\/p>\n
one big as a sow.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Working with the Department,<\/p>\n
along with the Prince,<\/p>\n
I sought their employment<\/p>\n
to get evidence.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I emptied their chamber pots,<\/p>\n
cooked, swept the floors,<\/p>\n
while searching the backrooms<\/p>\n
and listening at doors.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I bowed and obeyed<\/p>\n
while they teased and berated.<\/p>\n
I played my part well<\/p>\n
while I took notes and waited.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
One evening while mending<\/p>\n
her gown for the Ball,<\/p>\n
I heard her conversing<\/p>\n
with men in the hall.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
To the dance, several kilos<\/p>\n
of powder she\u2019d bring.<\/p>\n
I\u2019d finally discovered<\/p>\n
their drug smuggling ring.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I sneaked off to the Ball<\/p>\n
with the help of some mice,<\/p>\n
confidential informants<\/p>\n
with blood cold as ice.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The Prince was there waiting<\/p>\n
to lower the boom.<\/p>\n
Stepmom got arrested<\/p>\n
as she entered the room.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
One of my \u201csiblings\u201d<\/p>\n
took off out the door.<\/p>\n
I ran after, and caught her,<\/p>\n
but slipped on the floor.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I lost my best slipper<\/p>\n
while aiding the sting,<\/p>\n
But still got the Prince,<\/p>\n
and still got a ring.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
