Oh, the crass commercialism! LOL. I loved this. A contemporary take on an established fairy tale. Very nice rhyming and pace. I love witty and smart takes on classic tales. Excellent. Hugh

I love it, especially since my Dad sold Singer sewing machines. This sparkles with whimsy consistent with your cards and personality. Skillful manipulation of words to make for smooth end rhyme.

What a great sense of humour you have Rox. I was wondering how the "Singer" sowing machine got its name from, and also, years ago, there were Singer cars around, I wonder if there similar stories? Beautifully and cleverly written free verse poem dear girl, blessings, Roy

The king did ...insist? Maybe a typo.
This is wonderful! Because I am new to the technical parts of poetry, I'm not a good judge on meter as of yet, so I mostly judge on how I feel after I read it. I feel like I just had a very interesting story time! I love it!

Comment from Sandra du Plessis

Excellent

A very well-written sleeping beauty story with your own twisted ending to make the story more modern for our time. I remember my mother had a Singer sewing machine, now I know why it was called that. LOL.
