Research on Cinderella - after Shel Silverstein In search of Cinderella

 

From dawn 'til dusk,

from land to land,

without too much ado,

I'd seek the perfect ankle,

From dawn til dusk

I'd stretch my hand

to virgin, husk, not you ?

Perceptions change, oh dear, they do.

Perfection minds may rankle.

In Search of Cinderella

From dusk to dawn,
From town to town,
Without a single clue,
I seek the tender, slender foot
To fit this crystal shoe.
From dusk to dawn,
I try it on
Each damsel that I meet.
And I still love her so, but oh,
I've started hating feet.

Sheldon Silverstein

    I see this as you keep trying to find the one, but they are just not it, and you are becoming rather exhausted with the thought, seeing it is so hard to find. Have you ever considered not looking, and letting them bring their shoes to you?
    Just a thought, if I was right about this metaphoric poem.

    Being a little chiche now, "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" and though some may like tattoos, they are not my cup of tea unless small and tasteful. I have nice ankles as they do a splendid job of attaching me feel to my legs ... and they are not bad looking either

    I have lovely ankles (no tattoos)...but my feet are wretched & huge. No glass slippers for me, I fear. Very punny, my Friend.
