Sleeping Beauty

Long time ago in a kingdom

Where everyone enjoyed freedom

Lived a ruler who was just

So justice in this kingdom was a must

But,there was a problem he had

Which made him time and again sad

He dint have a child of his own

Due to this he & the queen used to moan

After almost 20 years of their tying, the knot

They got the happiness which made them wait a lot

The queen delivered a pretty baby

With rose red lips and hair wavy

On the day of her christening

The palace with lights was glistening

Many fairies were called to the ceremony

And each one had brought in, gifts many

When it was time for fairies to give their magical kiss

Each fairy came forward & blessed the baby with bliss

Then suddenly there was thunder and lightening

And appeared Maleficent with a face frightening

Of not being invited she complained

The king realised the mistake he had made

The king to her said a, sorry

And now about the baby he started to worry

But Maleficent came with a gift not bad, but worse

She for the baptism came with a gift of a curse

She cursed that at the age of 16, when reached the lady

She’d lose her life and merely be a lifeless body

Everyone in the kingdom pleaded to the fairy

To take back her wish which was so so scary

But the fairy was not at all moved

And the curse therefore wasn’t removed

To compensate for the evil done

All the good fairies united their magic in one

They said the princess would only sleep for a years hundred

And would wake to the kiss of a prince, who she will wed

The princess was brought up with utmost protection

Spinning wheels would put her to sleep, so met rejection

On her 16th birthday when she was loitering around

She came to a halt after hearing a weaving sound

She quickly commenced towards the sound

A lady really old, spinning there, she found

She wanted to help the lady

So for spinning the princess was ready

But the moment she touched the wheel

Something absurd in her head, she could feel

Within a moment or two

She fell in deep slumber for many years not few

The good fairies put the whole kingdom to slumber

So when the princess would wake, she’d find things, as remembered

Time from then came to a standstill

With soft music now the kingdom was filled

Then one day from the faraway land

Came a prince with a sword in his hand

He entered the kingdom at a time

when the slumber would end, and life would chime

He stepped in a castle with drowsiness galore

Not really knowing what was in store

When he entered the highest tower

He saw a sleeping beauty prettier than a flower

He leaned in and planted a kiss

And unknowingly to the kingdom returned its bliss

The princess started to stir in bed

When she saw the prince, she blushed red

Everything in the kingdom came to life

As the prince decided to make her his wife.
