I wonder what Rapunzel did
All by herself in the tower amid
Till she was rescued by the prince
I really wonder, what Rapunzel did?

What kept her curious mind alight
When nothing worthwhile was in her sight
And day in and day out the same story
repeated and faded, in and out, in and out its glory

One might argue - 'But, there is plenty to do!
Sing & dance, read & write, draw & paint, knit & sew
One always, always has occupation
You never really run out of options, there's procreation!'

And yet enough of that and all that there is!
If you don't walk out on the road, how do you taste bliss?
Just the four walls and the ceiling;
There's more to life that's much appealing

For all my love for fairy tales and all that jazz;
My heart goes out to Rapunzel stuck in the tower alas..
For she has to be her prince and rescue herself
& conquer the world & stop being the story in a book on someone's shelf!!
