I'm
just a jobbing poet seeking biographic poetry,
Come
one, come ten, come all,
I'll
write about those magic moments in your history,
Cinderella
at the royal ball.
I'll
capture special stories from your memory,
Come
one, come ten, come all,
Imprinted
in your mind or written in your diary,
Cinderella
at the royal ball.
I'm
looking for your 15 minutes of fame,
When you were the central player
In
life's sweet game,
So
come on, it's your call,
Cinderella
at the royal ball.
So,
drag out the thesaurus,
Scan
through the diction'ry,
Come
one, come ten, come all,
This
syncopating shanty's your shortcut lit'rary,
Cinderella
at the royal ball.
Cinderella
at the royal ball.
Cinderella
at the royal ball.
