Things were not going as planned. Yes, Rapunzel had tied her hair to the ship, but the Sirens had brought her a knife.

    Hope Rapunzel learns a lesson — don’t tie your hair to a ship! Nothing like a change in plans! Fun take for the day! Have great week!

    Maybe poor Rapunsel wants to keep her hair.
    Clue to Repunsel, don’t tie your hair to the ship!
    Cause now her prince cannot climb up to save her.
    Silly girl.

    Ooh! Ooh! I know the perfect backdrop-music: Sheryl Crow singing “The First Cut Is the Deepest”! *groan* I’ve taken it too far, haven’t I? Sorry! LOL!

    So THAT’s what she’s kneeling on? Oh, excellent, I love it when old familiar characters have new adventures!

    Now Rapunzel must choose–her hair or a tail. Speaking of which, this was a great tale!

    Well done.
