Hour Eight – Princess Dreaming

Princess Dreaming

Sleeping Beauty arises from her sleep
To find that Cinderella has taken over the kitchen

She has mixed the lentils with the peas
She has put the ladles in with the spoons
She has let in the birds and small creatures

Finding the kingdom in disarray
Sleeping Beauty goes back to bed

She dreams a prince, a prince who is dreamy
A dreamy prince who dreams only of her

But the dream turns to nightmare and she wakes
Sleeping Beauty arises from her sleep

Finding the kingdom in disarray
Sleeping Beauty joins in the fun
Pouring soap in the cereal and cinnamon in the salad

Sleeping Beauty arises from her sleep
To find it has all been a dream anyway

One thought on “Hour Eight – Princess Dreaming

  1. This is a fun read! Especially the line- “She dreams a prince, a prince who is dreamy/A dreamy prince who dreams only of her”. I loved when she joins in but why does it have to be a dream? I want a day too when even after seeing the home in disarray, I could just put my feet up and not risk a lecture on responsibilities…
    Welp, a girl can dream!
