 Stream Queue Cherry Brim Self


Once upon a time, 

there lived a young girl and 

Cherry was her name, 

she danced all day and all night

without any shame.


She had so many admirers, 

who hovered around her house

all day, and all night

admiring her dance, and her shoes,


But Cherry was lonely, 

cursed to dance alone

inside her house, 

and dance that she did, to atone

for whatever she had done

in her cherry red shoes.

The shoes her uncle brought her

From a far

And to thank him, she danced, 

She was 8 year old, 

and dance that she did 

in  her cherry red shoes


And then one day, an admirer, 

from the queue of suitors 

waiting outside her house, 

caught her eye, 

and he smiled, 

tipping the brim of his blue hat 

he asked her out.


He was in love with her,

and said, he wanted to talk with her. 

and he kept calling 

as he really wanted to walk with her. 

But Cherry couldn't go out with him, 

as she was cursed to keep dancing 

for many more years, 

Yes, dancing alone in her red shoes.  


But at his ardent insistence 

finally, she took a chance 

and  took her shoes off to walk with him

but she couldn't walk, 

as she only knew how to dance.


And the admirer was disappointed, 

but he couldn’t leave her alone

stranded without her shoes in her

 house! 


He picked her up, and walked out 

taking her across her stream of tears,

leaving the red shoes 

to dance all alone,

And as she came out walking barefoot

her sighs drowned in the cheers

of her admirers outside her house !
