It's A Different Fairytale!

Once upon a time, in a land not too far away

There lived a beautiful princess who was 'as white as snow' they say

She laughed, she ran as she spread joy around

And at nights she dreamt of a prince she hadn’t yet found..

Tall dark and handsome, to her those mattered not

When she dreamt of a prince, she dreamt of a different sought

Her prince would be kind and as loving as can be

What she looked for in her prince was inner beauty..

Days passed by, she looked all over the land

And then one fine day, she finally found her man

Virtuous, kind and friendly, he soon became everything she knew

And too top it all, he was tall, dark and handsome too!

And so in this land of fairytales, another magical wedding came alive

They danced, they sang and they laughed till they had cried

And as she smiled her dazzling smile, the beautiful princess knew

This was the man of her dreams, and that dream had come true..

Most poems of this sought, at this point come to an end

But there is an after story to this, the one you've never heard my friend

As the bride and groom exit the hall, no one tries to know

What would happen to this couple as together they grow old?

The beautiful princess goes to her new house, wondering in awe

Staring at her little house, tinnier than she thought

But that she cared of not, for her prince was by her side

She saw their future bright ahead, as he opened the door wide..

Later the handsome prince calls a dinner, for his beautiful wife

Friends, relatives, cousins come to wish them a happy life

As she spoke to one of his friends, the princess saw what she had never seen

Her handsome prince with fists clenched, was turning all green..

The green-ness of his face was something that only she could see

As the other people carried on laughing she thought- ''its my imagination.. maybe..''

At night the still green prince told her, she was never to talk to another man

He blamed her for being a flirt, and he was to stop it any way he can..

The days passed by and she learned- her prince of soft words now always wanted to shout

And every time something angered him, his eyes would pop out

Her handsome prince was now just a green colored man with eyes that could pop

And no longer would he walk in his elegant style, instead he would hop..

More days passed and with his little deceits, the prince was turning small

When she met her prince he was 6ft, and now he was just 3 ft tall

Only the princess seemed to notice, as his voice suddenly broke

No longer were his words so clear, instead he used to croak..

Even more days passed, more consumed in his anger the prince lifted his hand

And as he hit her over the face, she just couldn’t understand

That why the handsome prince with a heart of gold was turning so strange

And why with every misdeed he did, his hands and feet began to change..

So as the prince kept changing, it turns out that the guy she had once fallen for

Was not half as kind, or half as funny and was evil all the more

And once the change wass complete, the princess walked down a lonely road

As she cried in great despair, for her prince turned into a toad!

My mom says its a 'toadly' different concept! :P
