One day as Cinderella ate / Her Simple Lunch of sixteen courses, / A Golden Coach drove up in state, / Drawn by a team of Mouse-Grey horses, / And on the carriage door were scrolled / The Letters F. G. M., in gold.
The Princess dropped a Jelly Roll, / Which tipped with Pink her Crystal Shoe, / And cried, "O my prophetic soul! / _My God_-mamma! What shall I do? " / Then, Ladylike, she cut the knot / By simply fainting on the spot.
