In Sleeping Beauty, Philip slew the dragon,kissed the princess and woke her,
saved the day. The dude who dared
to rescue fair Rapunzel knew
(at least) the art of climbing.
Snow White was quite happy with
the seven little men but dreamed about
the day her prince would come and kiss
cold lips and bring her back to life, and
even though he didn't rate a name in Disney's
cartoon version, he still got the girl.
Their counterpart in Cinderella
only had the sense to send a minion to
the lady's house to try the slipper on.
Which only goes to prove that
some will fight for what they
want, or go to trouble and expense,
while others love their way into
a woman's heart, while others think
that just because the girl will want
her shoe back, that he's golden.
