Fractured Fairy Tale



The gist:
she got kissed.

Bibbidi bobbidi boo, she wished.
(Shoe fit. She wore it.)

Hard to resist zealous prince.
Dismissed jealous sisters hiss.

Royal romantic tryst.

Happily ever after wedded bliss.

She, the bee’s knees
he aimed to please.

………….Plot twist:
………….he missed.

Grace gives us a great word today. Head over to play!

    He missed! After trying so hard he still didn’t get it. Great rhymes …Dismissed jealous sisters hiss…what a great line! So much great stuff going on with the words, rhythm, and rhymes. Most enjoyable

    I thought I was the only one to say “bibbidi bobbedi boo” today. I work with toddlers and it just slipped out of my mouth while I was putting on their bibs for lunch. 🙂
