• As the clouds shone silver
    the rivers ran black
    the thunder of courage
    upon a horse's back
    -With the shout of her saviour
    Rapunzel drew back
    She would have to find
    A new plan of attack

    With a gentle tug,
    She felt quite strange
    Rapunzel gasped
    Were her scissors in range?

    The long train of gold
    So soft and so long
    Fell from the window
    The prince was in wrong

    Below lay the gaping jaws of a dragon
    Sharp flames that reached up to consume him

    Rapunzel laughed herself till tears
    At last she was free
    From the tower years

    The pact with the dragon
    Cost only one life
    And she would escape
    The hard life of a wife

    She slipped onto the dragon
    And into the night
    With no thought to her lover
    who died with no fight.
